Drink and drive
By ankur gill •
Please let me know what is the procedure if some one met with a accident and later found drunk .
What's the fine and how many months it will take to be punished ?
Going out from Qatar is possible before the judgement ?
Plz suggest as i want to know all this because last week one drunk man hit my car on seeline beach (in desert) insurance is not valid on Deseret and expense to repair the car is more than 45000qr
sijuqatar123 thanks for the information .
police said they send this case to court and court will call me in future for hearing ..
lets see what will happen
You can go and report in capital police station by giving the car number and mentioning the guy was drunk.
The police will take the guy to public prosecution and he will get bail by paying some fine. He can exit the country also if he have bail from prosecution. Its upto him.
In few days the public prosecution will forward the case to al saad criminal court and he will get one month jail and 40 beat for muslim , one month jail only for non muslim.
If you need money for damages then you have to charge civil case against him seperate in civil court dafna. Registration fee 3000 riyals court fee. The judge will decide for repayment
Mr.MM your comment is very funny.
let me try to explain once again.. he was DRUNK he hit the car when it was parked so according to you who is lazy ?
MM: So what you're saying is that is you get robbed, both you and the robber are victims.
Brit, here it is ...........
1st fellow , He can't control his car after drinking & tiredness ..... a victim of poor skills ..........
2nd Mr Ankur , He can't move out of danger's way in time ................. a victim of laziness ..............
accident took place on seeline beach desert area ,he was drunk ,he hit my car from front side when my car ,at that time I was about to start the car to go back , police said no insurance on desert .to repair my car (land cruiser) 47000qr is needed
Any way thanks for reply
May any one like to share his experience in similar casrs
MM: how an BOTH be victims
Ankur, Since you are involved in the drink and drive offence and if there is a court case, your ID will be automatically blocked and you may not be able to leave the country till the final courts verdict. Best of luck
Bad luck 4 both.
Quicky , Bad luck for whom ? Both parties are victims ......... one is who can't drive properly after drinking ........ 2nd is the one who comes in his front ..........
Bad luck.
He can say he drank after the hit ........................... .........
Since, you were not the one who was drunk as you state when the accident took place, it will be only the court that could decide the penalties/punishments. If you are required to pay a penalty, this may be taken care of by your insurance company. It may take up to a year before your case could get settled.
There is no one answer to your question . It depends on who the person is, nationality etc
Leaving Qatar prior to the court case is Is not advisable
The one who was hit
Are you the drunk driver or the one who was hit
oooopsss,,,,u shud have followed johnnie walker slogan,,,,,Keep Walking after drinking :)
