This morning at 8 o'clock i was at the the traffic court
to face my charges for drinking and driving. Me being in a
n arab country was pretty scared to say the least.

I
've been told that i'm looking at a minimum of 1 month in j
ail and a heavy fine. And also that there is absolutely no
justice system really which means it's completely up to the
judge's feeling towards me and on the given day.

I
pleaded guilty and just made a statment saying that i would
have never been driving if the taxi driver did not refuse
on taking my friends home. 30 odd people where called up an
d pleaded aswell. After everybody was finished the judge an
d his panel left and we had to wait.

A 3 hour stress
ed sweating period went past and a cop called everbody's na
me and gave their senteces. I got called up and thanks to G
od's grace only got a AED 5,000 fine. YEAH!!!! This is like
1,300 US$. I paid the fine and got the hell outa there.

A shout out to all the gals and dudes out there to nev
er take any chances. Don't think it can't happen to you, ca
use I was one of "you". Stay safe and God Bless.
