If you break the law while driving on Dubai roads, chances are you will be caught. And because of the next generation of smart cameras being introduced on Dubai roads, driving in the emirate is getting safer.
If you speed, the cameras are more sensitive. If you drive too slowly, the cameras will pick up you. If you are driving a truck or heavy vehicle and are in the wrong lane, the camera will be taking your photograph. And if you text while driving, you will be caught. So too if you fail to wear your seat belt or are driving aggressively by following too closely.
These technologies are the latest to be employed against errant motorists by Dubai Traffic Police. And there is no use in complaining about them — they are a necessary tool to ensure that most us, who follow the rules of the road, do not speed and do not slip into an alter ego behind the wheel, are kept safe. And if you follow the rules, you have nothing to worry about. And if you do not, smile. Your picture is being taken and be prepared to pay for your bad road habits!
