15 cars caught doing over 200km

Traffic police speed cameras caught 15 cars doing more than 200 km per hour in just 20 days on the motorways linking Abu Dhabi to Dubai and the eastern oasis town of Al Ain, a police officer was reported on Saturday as saying.

The speeding cars were caught during March 1-20 by the advanced mobile camera, known as Qannas (sniper), which was introduced by the traffic police recently to back up fixed speed cameras deployed in and outside the capital.

“They exceeded the speed limit in a very dangerous way,” said Major Mohsen Al Minhali, head of the external roads section in Abu Dhabi’s traffic police.

He said the vehicles were impounded for one month while the drivers were fined Dh2,000 each and had 12 black points added to their file.
