Speeding, me?

I have decided to call my car Gertrude. It seems appropriate, I don’t know why. Traffic laws are being enforced more strictly at the moment. About time too. Gertrude isn’t worried as she hardly ever gets above 80 km/hour. For violations between 140 and 159 km/hour the fine in now six hundred Riyals and a day in jail. This goes up to fifteen hundred Riyals and seven days in jail for speeds over 190 km/h. Bad news if you have one of the beautiful big Mercedes no doubt.
