    THey are used to it at home, in saudi you can't go over 120 kmh on most highways now without some sort of repercussion. They will even make you spend 1 night in jail in most cases. Dubai is very strict about their speeding and even have speed cameras set up also.

    We think the Quatari royal family get arrested or in any kind of trouble for driver violations in the middle east? Or the other royal families? Or any of their distant relatives and friends?

    The royal families are a totally different issue. But alot of these guys in London are just wealthy, not necessarily royalty.

    Your not old or old-fashioned at all. I was raised with the same principles. I don't quite know what started the decay of society, I guess the start was more wealth for all. This starts wishes and the fulfillment of these wishes which everyone wants now.

    In the Netherlands we had a campaign a couple of years which stated "Verbeter de wereld, begin bij jezelf", which is freely translated to "Improve the world, start with your own behavior".

    Problem is, UK law states that the correct registration has to be written down, other wise the offence doesn't stick. Given that the typical Briton can't write Arabic, and the numbers alone aren't sufficient, it will never stick.

    between diplomatic immunity and the wealth factor, police have very little that they can do,

    this crap plays out in all the international cities...

    Very prominant article in this weekend's Sunday Times......entitled "The Big Sheikh-down".....(tragic title).

    "The Middle East’s elite flock to London every summer to holiday with their supercars, many bringing noise and a disregard for parking laws. Now the locals are fighting back."

    Worth a read BentlyKWT.

    Peace.

    Confiscating cars wont do it. They'll go buy another one. The ultra wealthy young arabs are suffering of a decease called "chronical bordum". They have a lack of goal (I means a positive one). I used to talk to a women who use to clean for them in France. Some sheik from the royal family. The guys use to burn hole in extra expensive suits with cigarettes tothen yell and the servants.

    Then he was hidding stuff in the house and spoiling things. If they did not cath presto, they were fired after being yelded at. Was a game for him.
    The only thing that would work, unfortunatly is 1 month in jail with hard labor. The only medecine for any spoiled brats. not really bad guys but just people with a lost sense of purpose it seems.

    it started with the constant messages and commecercials "you deserve it". From school "your are the best" to mindlkess TV shows like" sweet 16" brainwashing peoples that life is a fantasy wonderland. Basically big business in the greed of making more money turned people into commercial monsters and now they wonder why they cant have what everyone has and turn nasty and bitter. this will ultimatly end badly for all.
