We had a rip roaring talk about the 500 dirham fine to be imposed on those who cause minor accidents in Abu Dhabi and then we moved on to spit!
How do we get the spit on the street culture to end?
Or as Steve suggested do we really want this piece of the fabric of the nation to dry up?
James Piecowye took over Nightline in October 2006 until it was canceled in June 2018. The cast and crew of Nightline decided to keep the show going and this is where James posts the notes.

March 23, 2008: Lessons learnt from the Ghantoot crash
Sunday, March 23, 2008
While James is riding a wave in Bali, Jeff Price has taken over his seat!
Myself (Masarat) and Xan joined him to speak about the drivers' attitudes and behaviour on the roads of UAE. Do we disrespect the rules? Do we drive better in our home countries? Do we need more awareness or maybe we need more police presence to 'scare' people? And hey...what are fog lights? There are many who still don't know about it! As told by our Car Expert, Adam, there is not much awareness towards fog lights in this part of the world. So go to your nearest garage or your dealer and make sure that you have fog lights. And make sure that you know how to use it!
We were also joined by Abdulla Al Kazim, a doctor at Mafraq Hospital in AD who was on the other side of the road on the fateful March 11. He assisted the Police and Paramedics in dealing with the injured. A first-hand perspective!
Call 800-4353 to report dangerous drivers.
Many interesting view points! Does the black points system work? It remains to be seen. But what we agreed upon was that the AD Police handled the situation very efficiently.
