To all those from Dubai, is it true that you only have one kind of speeding ticket no matter how fast u drive? I thought i saw something like that on tv once...

That was ages ago.. used to be a simple US$50~55 ticket now it starts at US$110 and goes up by US$25 for every extra 10kmph over the limit, but the radar only catches you at 20 over the limit so you always get at least the $160 ticket plus newly introduced black points and car confiscation for very high speeds and jumping camera with a possible jail term depending on situation for some violations. This chnge has really made the roads more safe, but less fun in a way or two..
