What's with the pink slip crap that everyone's getting. If someone rear ends you, it's their fault, regardless of nationality. It's happened twice with my wife and both occassions the other drivers got the pinkee! ( one a local & the other a Lebanese)

A similar thing happened last year to a friend when he was shafted (literally), but he refused the pink slip and insisted it be dealt down at the station. It was and the slips were changed after a little shouting by the senior station officer. Most police that pitch up are too afraid to cause a stink so side with the local or, in some cases, Arabic speaker.

Unless you're in a hurry, stand your ground. The message might eventually get through!

To be honest, my few dealings with the police have not been a problem. They were courteous and efficient. Maybe I was lucky.
