Egyptian drivers owe for 2007 2 million dollars in traffic offence fines in New York alone.
And those are only the diplomats!!!!
Egypt became for the second year in a row the number 1 out of 180 diplomatic missions in NY violating the traffic laws, and they have committed 20,000 violation in a year. In New York state alone, in total 2 million dollars in fines which they have not paid. Kuwait was 2nd and Nigeria 3rd Brazil 4th
The mayor Michael Bloomberg announced to all the diplomatic missions in NY that he will cancel their licence plates from diplomatic to normal if they continue to refuse to pay the fines.
He threatened to take them to the supreme court to force them to pay the fines and also the fines of the last years especially Egypt who has been in the top 3 for the last 5 years for violating traffic laws. The Egyptian Diplomatic Mission refused to comment on the mayors statement.

I was wishing I had a sub machine gun perched on my lap yesterday
I figured out what it is now!!
Lead poisoning with all the pollution has caused their brains to malfunction.
Why else would a guy with kids in his car swerve across 4 lanes of traffic doing 70 MPH to make a u turn and causing every car to slam on the brakes

I think they call it "diplomatic immunity" . . . it allows them to get away with far worse than traffic fines . . . but I think that the govenment still is going to crack down on them and it is about time!!! I don't care who you are . . . if you do the crime you should pay your fine or serve your time!! Posts: 895 | From: NorthTexas, USA | Registered: Mar 2004

Last year an Egyptian guy was caught by state troopers reversing down a highway at the USA/Canada border. They stopped him and breathalysed him. Tried to figure out why he was reversing against 4 lanes of traffic and he had no clue he had done anything wrong!! So they assumed he was mentally ill or drunk or on drugs or something equivalent so arrested him and took him to a psychiatric assessment unit for investigations.
They discovered he was not suffering from a mental illness and charged him and took his license away.
True story
Question for the Egyptians here (please Refrain from directing such an Degrading openion to whole nationality of people as some found it offending that you mentioned Egyptian in general ) Thank You for keeping it Open minded and clean
