A British tourist has collected tens of thousands of dollars in traffic fines in a few hours after he rented a luxury supercar in Dubai.
The BBC reports he broke the speed limit several times in the early hours of Tuesday. The total cost of the fines came to 175,000 dirhams ($47,600).
The fines were issued after the tourist triggered every speed camera on the Sheikh Zayed Road and reached a top speed of 240 km/h, according to state-owned newspaper The National.
The owners of the dealership where the man rented the Lamborghini Huracán told the newspaper that the driver had left his passport as a guarantee.
They say they haven't yet claimed the car back because they may be liable to pay the fines.
"We can't pay this amount should the car be taken into impound, it's still with the tourist, parked at his hotel... and I won't be trying to take it back," dealership partner Faris Mohammed Iqbal said.
"Then who pays the money for the impound? We shouldn't do so for sure, it's his fault and he should pay that amount," he added.
