Crossing red traffic signal is a crime. Saudi Arabia has placed a computerized traffic fine structure called ‘Saher' that uses digital cameras and an online supervising system to catch traffic violators.

A woman in Saudi Arabia who was angry at her husband’s decision of 2nd marriage spent the night of his second wedding on a very creative form of revenge. 

The Saudi woman has sought the decisive revenge on her husband for marrying a second time by incriminating him in traffic penalty value about SR 300,000 ($80,000) on his wedding night.

The Gulf News reported that it is the highest total fine ever registered by Saher. The irritated wife took a small van of her husband while he was rejoicing his 2nd wedding and she planned with her brother for a joyride to pass through red lights as many times as it could be.

The registration plate could be picked up by security cameras. As per Gulf News, both the brother and his sister were violating traffic rules throughout the evening, crossing red lights repeatedly and building up fines totaling approximately $80k which is SR 300,000.
 
Saher is the system introduced by Saudi traffic authorities to check rash driving and monitor noncompliance of the traffic rules that included mostly jumping red lights. Saher is a specially designed electronic system which is built with the purpose of improving the movement of traffic.

This system operates automatically and road users are under constant supervision through traffic lights which are controlled by state of the art, computer-controlled system.

Those who are found guilty of violating traffic signals are charged with a fine and the penalties are increased if the fine is left unpaid after the specified time limit. This system covers almost all the major cities of Kingdom and all the traffic routes are keenly observed by the cameras.
