Great article in yesterday's Gulf News about traffic in the UAE. Apparently authorities are going to stop issuing licenses to "certain categories" of residents in effort to cut down on the number of cars on the roads.

People who do jobs that don't require university degrees - nurses, cooks, carpenters, housemaids, watchmen, tailors, cafeteria waiters, unskilled laborers, gardeners, bakers, etc - just won't get to drive anymore.

Awesome.
