One of my friends became extremely angry, saying he was not in the country when the violation took place. After calming down, he realized that his being in the country was not necessary for a violation to take place; the car was his and was being driven by somebody else when the violation took place.

This reminded me of an editor in chief who threatened to publish an exclusive story the next day in his paper about a Saudi woman who received a traffic fine. However, when he was told that it is normal for a woman to receive a traffic violation if the car is registered under her name, he felt embarrassed and did not publish the story.

I read a letter from a Saudi citizen who called on the authorities to stop Saher. I was about to accept what he was advocating as this was his right to express what he wishes freely. However, when I learned he owned a taxi company, I understood exactly why he wanted to stop the system.

I want all those who call for the system to be scrapped to think for one second about the large number of deadly traffic accidents that happen every day.

Drivers in the Kingdom are often totally ignorant about traffic rules. Saher will guarantee our safety and the safety of our loved ones. Saher is the best step ever taken to enforce adherence of traffic rules on our roads.

Saher registers violations electronically and takes photographs to prove violations. There are no excuses as in the past when people used to complain about unjustified violations.

I think it is about time to stop complaining about Saher. Those caught violating should pay for their violations. There is no need to stop Saher. What needs to stop is the culture of committing traffic violations.
