Saher is a system that has been introduced into the Kingdom to detect traffic violations. It in fact does not turn a blind eye on anyone who breaks the Kingdom's traffic laws.
Our dear readers should note that this is an automatic system to monitor traffic violations and catch violators, including those who drive recklessly, break speed limits and jump red lights.
My mind struggled with a host of questions the other day when I traveled to the Chinese city of Kwanza. In China, a person can have his driving license canceled for five years for committing six traffic violations.
During our journey, we became impatient at how slow our driver was driving and asked him to speed up. However, the driver and another man who was accompanying him exhibited some cautiousness.
They expressed their fear at driving over the speed limit and mentioned that the driver could lose his license if he were to break the law.
Why do we need a system like Saher to watch us? Why do we need Saher to look at how we conduct ourselves and deter us from committing traffic violations?
Why do we need Saher to stop us from committing traffic violations that have been instrumental in increasing the number of accidents on our roads leading to people dying and being left with serious injuries? Why are our religious sermons not remedying this problem? Aren't there 52 weekly Friday sermons in a year?
I think there needs to be another Saher-like system to prevent us from being absent from work, an absence for which we have a tendency to produce doctors' notes.
We also need a Saher-like system in our offices to ensure we stop wasting time by indulging in things we should not be doing, such as chatting on the Internet.
We are in a dire need of a Saher-like system to keep us in check with regards to how we spend wealth — both our own and that placed in our trust.
In short we need a Saher-like system for our entire daily lives.
