Someone started the rumor about them saving and calculating your speed and all that, but the don't really do anything except flash you once you cross the speed limit (Yes they do flash, i got caught twice with these). They are just harder to spot at night and have the dual side ability. On Sh.Zayed road, in dubai, there's one almost every 800m-1000m, if they did calculate your speed, there wouldn't be a need for one every kilometer. The ones with digital video recording and IR that actually do the calculation are different looking, they look like a big striped tube from top to bottom and there are only 2 currently in Dubai being tested, which are on Al Khail road.

However, not all cams are dual sided; and the dual-sided cams always get you from behind. I'm not a 100% sure that the backs of these dual sided cams actually work. They could be dummy lens plates stuck on the back of a regular cam. But the CLK cams are news to me. Wow! I just noticed those damned dual sided cameras a week ago… on the Fahaheel Expy.

I have no illusions of Kuwait roads being completely safe. I was reading this interesting article about Norway or Sweden - where they fine you as a percentage of your salary (I think 1 week salary). A millionaire recently got a speeding ticket for something like $500,000. Kuwait should implement something like that!!! Mathai,
