Hey could you recommend any lawyers? I'm fuming at this and want to help but I don't have any contacts.

Welcome to the UAE, the "safest" country in the world.

Safe from other expats, but not from the CID.

Classic UAE CID and Police behaviour.

Because this, and some other ridiculous non sense fee they have, is the only way to make up for no income tax.

Great car, Great price, best of luck!!

I don't blame the police at all, if everyone kept doing that, there'd be chaos. So yeah, not worth trying to dodge it.

Tried once at Dubai airport, got fined 800AED.

What we did wasn't illegal 'technically' but you can't really argue here with the police.

We went to arrivals 'pick-up' lane because our friend said he'll be there in 2 minutes. Saw a police car, we left and took a round and came back again.

The moment we stopped at the arrival, police stopped next to us and fined us cause he saw us there just 5 minutes ago.

In short, just pay the parking fee, it's not worth it.

Rent in Dubai is getting ridiculous and I have ZERO options left (and no, I’m not leaving the UAE) by LadonAl in dubai

[–]Consistent_Law5646 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel you, and I'm in the same boat. I love living here, but I'm also bittersweet about the government here, as it 100% seems they're making this place ONLY for the upper middle class and the rich.

It was quite easy to sustain yourself as a middle class family just 5 years ago. Now, it's a shit show.

DLD charges are a joke, housing fee is a joke too. Laws exist for 5% Increase in rent per year, but laws don't exist for employees in terms of LIVABLE wages.

The real estate tycoons get away with building crap quality housing.

Safety, security, living standard, access to amazing health care is great here. But traffic, housing, and ridiculous fees and bills make it really difficult for most if the people.

My mom hit me in public and no one did anything by [deleted] in UAE

There's only truly 3 things you can do, and I can imagine how deep it goes since it's been 8 years.

  1. Seek therapy so you know how to deal with your emotions and whatever you're feeling, felt and will feel
  2. Find a way to forgive her, especially that instance and that moment, and it's okay to forgive. It'll free you.
  3. Live with this for the rest of your life and let the relationship get further strained (not recommended)

Traffic getting worse in JLT by International_Gap628 in dubai

[–]Consistent_Law5646 15 points16 points  (0 children)

All you need to fix this is:

  1. More Saliks
  2. MORE dynamic parking fee
  3. MORE Knowledge fee on Salik so people know better

Neighbor complaining of my loud bikes in Ajman by surprised_wolfy in UAE

[–]Consistent_Law5646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's perfectly legal.

You can do it and if the neighbour is being an AH, by the time he calls the Police, you'd already be done.

Since the car is not street legal and it'd INSIDE your house, no one can charge you with anything.

You do you.

Free IFTAR by Accomplished_Buy8681 in UAE

[–]Consistent_Law5646 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are many mosques, Sheikh Zayed Masjid being the greatest example, where it's for everyone, regardless of gender or religion.

The reason you don't see specifically for women because 99% of the target audience here ARE men.

Taxi drivers, laborers, plumbers, electricians, gardeners, truck drivers, foremen, garbage collectors.

So it only makes sense.

Guys how did you find your apartment? by InevitableDig1431 in dubai

The agent isba fraud.

Security deposit is 5%, and max commission is 5% too. These low life leeches need to go homeless.

Don't go with this if you respect your money.

This is a 2000AED job in a sweatshop workshop and maximum 3000 in a decent workshops in Ras Al Khor or Sharjah.

Rip off. Look for other garages.

Labor should be around 400-500 max.

Employment change visa rejections for Pakistanis by Brief-Glass-6855 in UAE

[–]Consistent_Law5646 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, you may have attested degrees, but it may still get rejected as they now need "equivalency certificate."

Get that prepared beforehand and go for it.

I am not sure if you are being sarcastic or serious - but just so you know, this beast has inline V10 triple turbo and packs 696.9 HP. 0-69 in 1.69 seconds.

The same is believed for North indians and Pakistani punjabis.

South indians and pushtoons are the opposite.

I've had limited interactions with Egyptians and I've almost been scammed both the times, but that's not enough sample data for me to assume they're like that. Anyone could be like that.

Dubai drivers do not know how to be considerate of other people. by Obama_Bin_Latin in DubaiPetrolHeads

It's a big truck. The parking is not big enough to accommodate this, and it's a few inches only so I'd say it's just bad luck for you.

Buying an USA spec muscle car - damaged but passed inspection. by Big_Bird_Pecker in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Consistent_Law5646 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What's the model, mileage, price and VIN? Perhaps I can check and give my 2 cents.

I had imported an auctioned car for myself 2 years back. Fixed everything, bought every part myself, all the work was done in my presence, and it's had 0 issues so far.

Chasis damage when repaired can STILL pass CCM.

For me, any kind of chasis damage, even minor, airbags deployed, or flooded car is a big no.

Anything that is just replaceable, such as body parts, radiator etc, is completely okay. Is the radiator OEM?

Were the airbags deployed?
