A little story I heard yesterday .......

Apparently, one of the reporters from The National, the new newspaper over here, was driving to work last week and losing control of his car, flipping over three times, amazingly, survived without a scratch. As is the law over here, whatever accident you have and however minor, you have to wait for the police to turn up. So, what did the Abu Dhabi authorities do when they arrived? Investigate the accident? Send him to hospital for a once over, just in case? No, the guy got arrested, for not having a licence for a bottle of wine that was in his boot and ended up spending 3 days in jail!
