Were you not in the fast lane? As im not too sure of its range, but i think it should not be able to get you since its 4 lanes.

I was in the fast lane, the extreme left, but there are only 3 lanes going into Airport tunnel, and the total road is 5 lanes wide, 2 of the right ones go to Deira and Khawaneej. This camera was setup somewhere around the bus stop on the right.

Btw, how long does it take to appear on the website?

I dont understand why the fuss is about Ozi. It is clearly an 80 zone. You can go upto a 100 and you should be alright. Anything above that is speeding and you get punished. Fair call!

This is the exact place where I got my first speeding fine 4 years ago. It is a favourite spot for the mobile cameras.

There have mean some desperate measures taken on by the Dubai Police lately but this would not be one of them.
It's big for me as I've 'tamed' my driving, somewhat. I didn't have ANY speeding fines for the past year or so, and I never, ever exceed the grace limit, but I was used to doing it on this road...sigh.

@ ozi - i also got the same mobile radar on the same road but as I was on the fast lane I guess the fine won't reflect in the sytem as its been 2 week and no fines have appeared in the system yet. Moreover same mobile radar shit happened to me even in Sharjah but again I was in the fast lane and its been 2 months the radar haven't shown in the system. Don't know whether I am the one lucky or the radars don't catch in the fast lane.

Most probably it is a B16A (Black Top) or could also be either a B16B (Red Top Civic Ek9 Type R) or B18C (Red/Black) depending on spec and complete code...

Post a pic, and how much did you buy it for? From where?

I have to pay a total of AED 1000.00 for the Honda Civic. It was all speeding fines racked up by my brother, but unfortunately for me he is on holidays now. So I have to sort the shit out and hopefully get it back off him when he gets back!!
