Thank you, dear. May I remind you we have a fixed price contract?
Re: Saudis defend Sri Lankan maid's execution, hit back at criticism
but according to saudi laws he might be punished....if diyat was not paid by king himself.....
Yup, but that just goes to show how screwed up Saudi laws are. Even the most careful driver can sometimes make mistakes, unintentionally causing an accident. Yes, that is unfortunate but no one is perfect, right? Mistakes can happen.
I am shocked to learn though that under Saudi law a driver can be imprisoned, sentenced to death, and even executed despite NOT driving under the influence of any intoxicants/alcohols, NOT fleeing the scene of an accident, and NOT being dishonest otherwise when confronted by the police.
It's scary, really.

Last sentence is so true.
Re: Saudis defend Sri Lankan maid’s execution, hit back at criticism
And yet there is so much careless driving on the roads! (Though not on the motorway.)
In the West, I think capital punishments are quite rare and given in exceptional circumstances, if at all, so a death penalty is certainly not applicable in the case of an accident. However, there are definitely laws against reckless driving so a person can face prison sentence for causing an accident while being drunk/drugged.
