Even the cars are watching you...

Here in Saudi, they have a reputation for keeping the wayward in line. Although less prevalent than in the past, the Muttawa patrol the streets ensuring the strict application of Sharia law.

You've all heard the stories of women getting a swift crack across the back of the legs with a cane and being sent home if their
abayas are too short and flash too much ankle.

But today I saw something I was quite unprepared for... even the cars are now fitted with devices to detect unusual behaviour. This shipping label was on a new car which pulled up beside me at the lights on my way to work this morning...


I'm in trouble.
