Result of driving above 140 km/h on Dubai Highway

[ahmad s]

yeah ...

[canboz]

What Haissam wrote is correct for speed limit 100 and 120. But for speed limits 60 and 80, if you exceed +1km/h, you got the flash.
Where do I know???
At 60 speed limit area, I was driving around 65. Mobile radar catch me. Received 400EAD fine.

Does anybody have an idea how many black points did I get ?

[Haissam]

none, but not sure :D

Above 160 km/h I heard the black point system is applied, but still need to find out how many.
Hate to have a bad record !

[Haissam]

i think you need to exceed the limit by 50+ to get black points.. but i stand corrected :)

i thought for 60, 70 & 80 areas they give you +10 limit :dunno:

tried & tested on Jumeirah (70+10) ;) but we all know our speedos are a bit off you know :)

+1
I read this, Exceeding maximum speed limit by not more than 50km/h = 0 black points

Over speeding and exceeding the speed limit by no more than 60km/hr = AED900 + 8 black points. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 60 km/hr = AED1000 + x black points + car confiscation.

So since your fine is less that AED900 then you don't have a black point.

Thanks Ayham for the double check, im happy i got saved by those points.

[Haissam]

they should make a rule that someone could transfer black points to a friend etc :msolved:

i'll buy each black point for 1000 Dhs then :D

[SSense]

[ghoonk]

Ayham, i got a fine for going 21-30km/h over limit - AED600 and 1 black point.

^ I don't know about the entire law, what I posted comes from a VERY unpleasant personal experience :thumbsdown:

Haissam, x = I forgot :)
