Pulled over...

I had my first encounter with the Dubai traffic police tonight. They flagged me down after I made a fairly abrupt lane change without indicating. There were two officers, and the first one approached my car, uttered some things in Arabic, and I handed him my license and registration. Then, he summoned me to the police car where I met the second officer, a very friendly guy who shook my hand and smiled. He asked if I knew what "mistake" I made, and I explained my suspicion about the rapid lane change. Interestingly, he didn't agree or disagree with this, but rather seemed concerned that I knew how to get home and offered directions on how I should best proceed. We then smiled, shook hands again, and parted ways.
