Can you refute a parking ticket

habari

I received an SMS from metrash(e-government facility) saying I have got a new traffic violation fine, checked on the MOI  traffic violation site, and it said that I have been endorsed with a 600qrs fine. The location was very vague citing about 5 areas around the Al Waab area.

 

The funny thing is that it mentions that the violation occurred at 2.25am……… I was in bed at that time, no where near the place mentioned at that time

 

Can I do anything about this, apart from paying it… can I argue against it, is there any procedure ??

 

Thanks

it happened to me. My violation showing in english doesn't match in arabic. Good thing, Ive checked in arabic version first before I start complaining.

First thing you do is to check the arabic site of MOI, and get somebody to translate the violation against you. Most probably, the violations in english and arabic won't match.

What it says in the arabic part is your actual violation. If you think what it says there isn't right, then you can think about asking for an explanation to the higher authorities.

Best of luck.....!!!

Yes, I think you can challenge it but not sure of the details. If it is for speeding, then the police will have a photograph of your car.

Try searching on this site. Think I've seen it mentioned before.

what's the violation? If its overspeeding, then you can ask for pictures of your car taken by the radar.
