Default Radars on E11, E44 and E311

Does anyone know what is the maximum speed limit on Sh.Zayed, Al Khail and Emirates road without being flashed by radards?
I experimented couple of times and exceeded 20 km/h the allowed speed and there was no flash. Do you work at all?
P.S. My fast driving is not dangerous, so please don't attack me for that.

thanks, I can read the sign, I know the announced speed limit, I am talking about radards.

i have to rush as otherwise it takes me 1 hour to work and 1 hour from work and i have no time left for my little daughter, so risk is excused, but as mentioned i don't cause danger on the road by taking the left lane where all cars are driving more or less 140 km/h

Only yesterday you were saying how important it is to respect the rules of the country you live in, but now you think it's OK to break the speed limit which is essentially breaking a law?

of course, it has nothing to do with respect if I am among the cars that drive fast I have to follow the speed otherwise it will be dangerous, don't you think? try to drive 120 km/h on the left lane of Emirates road and see how many flashes will blink behind your back

Then don't drive in the left lane. That should be an overtaking lane anyway.

Breaking the law is breaking the law no matter how you try to dress it up or excuse it. You can't have it both ways.

as i said "driving faster is dangerous"
you are asking on this forum how to break the law, what do you expect for an answer?
you seem to have no idea about driving safely, along with all the other people driving at excessive speeds in the left hand lane. you are, or have become, the type of person that most sensible driving people hate. there is no excuse to take a risk with your own (and others) lives.
why do you assume that because you are in the left lane that it is safe to drive faster than the speed limit?
i assume your "little daughter" would not cope too well with you in hospital? (if you were that lucky)
your journey is 1 hour, how much time or distance of that is on 120km/h roads, we can work out how much time you really save by driving at different speeds.
remember "better to be 5 minutes late in this world, that 5 minutes early in the next"

you are slightly mistaken, most of my way is high speed roads as I live in Discovery Gardens and work in Dubai Silicon Oasis, above that most of the way I take is almost car free, there is no traffic

Elphaba, us, human beings will never agree to one meaning of one word. When I spoke about respect I meant linking religion to way of driving (ie Jynxgirl - is bad driving a muslim thing), however nothing to do with the speed limit
Do you know that as per scientific research one can control the car only up to the speed of 40 km/h, so whether you drive 80 or 120 if there is a donkey on the road and you are unlucky to be nearby, sorry about that

They give you 20 km/h grace above the posted 120km/h limit. My cruise control is normally set to 19 km/h over the posted limit, and I haven't had a ticket yet.

how about mods close this thread?
there could be legal problems if anyone does actually give advice on how to drive at excessive speeds without being caught.
