7 Black Points and a 6,000 Riyals Fine???

Hi Mga Kabayan(s),

Can you kindly help me with my problem?

Last week, a colleague of mine saw a traffic violation on MOI website on our company vehicle that I normally use. He saw that the violation is having 7 BLACK POINTS and a 6,000 RIYALS fine with NO DESCRIPTION on it. I checked it saw the date, time and location of the incident. I was shocked for I haven't been on to that place on that given time for I was already in our office sending emails a couple of minutes when that violation happened. I'm quite sure that it was a wrong information because I know that our vehicle was already park on the parking lot when that incident happen. It's even out of way to my workplace.

I tried to check it on the arabic counterpart website and saw the description on arabic of course. I tried to translate it using GoogleTranslate the result was "Vehicle driver's failure to pass the optical signals, self -". I'm not sure about this but my interpretation is not not using the vehicle's warning or signal light (part of head and tail lights).

My question now is:

1. Was the Qatar Traffic Law Decree No. 19 of 2007 already been ammended and this violation was already added? I tried to check it but this violation was not there.
2. What are my chances of winning when I contest it on the Traffic Department?
3. What are the things that I should do?

By the way, I have requested and printed a copy of our Access Control with Time & Attendance for that day as a proof that I was not there. I have also printed some MS Outlook documents pertaining to the time of the incident.

Your comment and advises will be very much appreciated...
