Some Good News

The miserable gridlocked residents of West Dubai are to get not one, but two, shiny new roads running parallel to the Sheikh Zayed Highway. Unfortunately both of them will converge on the Trade Centre Roundabout, and one of them, astonishingly, will run slap bang through the middle of posh, leafy suburb Emirates Hills. Yikes.

Apparently 136,902 new cars were registered in Dubai last year, bringing the total to 500,000. And there are 214,583 cars which are not registered (Emirates Today). Which begs the question - if they know exactly how many cars are unregistered why can't they do something about it? And is nobody worried that an unregistered vehicle is also an uninsured one?
