Tricky cops.....smart drivers!

Have you ever wondered drivers been smart ;-)

Well I found one today......Was a grey pathfinder with an Indian national fiddling with something on the back seat.

It was located in the road between rainbow roundabout and duhail roundabout. The speed limit on road was 80.

Lucky me.....I could see three legs (something like a tripod) kept in the front of that vehicle.

Yes I was right, the moment I passed through, I could see a big fat camera mounted on a small tripod. I was able to brake and shift from the speed track to the middle track and right below 80. This was noted between 2:30 P.M. - 3:00 P.M.

He He He....escaped from spending Qrs 500.......

All speed and traffic signal cameras do have video recorder except portable ones.

The other day, there was another portable camera again kept in front of the vehicle. Location: Flyover near Mark and Spencer.

You need not worry if you are a careful driver......otherwise excercise C A U T I O N !!!

Will update if I find one soon.....N'joy the rains 2day....

Nothing is more thrilling to drivers than getting away by speeding...of course IN A SAFE WAY. Not all speed limits are sensible, so a bit of bending the rules is smart, I say. But now when you have hidden cameras or in some countries policemen in normal vehicles that's the real challenge! Smart job this one, Vista.

And for those who relate speeding or rash driving with certain nationalities let me just remind when I drive in US during rush hours and try to maintain speed limits, I get lot of honks and tail-gating. If you are curious about specifics I am refering I-92 or NJTP from NYC to DC.
