In a comical turn of events, this reporter in Riyadh was caught in a funny situation while interviewing motorists on a busy road. The irony is that Abdullah, a reporter on the show 'Allah Ya'tik Kheirha', was talking to motorists on the large numbers of traffic violations in the city, according to reports in Arab News.
The video shows him speaking to motorists for the show and asking them why they park wrongly or in non-parking zones. However, towards the end of the video he was surprised to learn that he himself had been given a ticket for parking his vehicle incorrectly.
The clip broadcast on the program shows the presenter, Youssef Al-Jarrah, who found the situation amusing, telling viewers: "A message to Abdullah from me and everyone on the show: You deserve the ticket!"
Abdullah talked to motorists who justified their decision to break the law by claiming they were either in a hurry or simply were not able to find suitable parking spaces.
'Allah Ya'tik Kheirha' is broadcast on Al-Ekhbariya TV on Fridays and promotes awareness about road safety
