Jumping the Red Light!
I made a terrible mistake today. I was waiting in the middle lane at the Salam St signal in New Rayyan. When the left turn signal turned green, I turned left (see the attached picture).
I did not notice the camera flashing (not that I was noticing anyway). I realized soon after making the left turn that I might have run the red light.
While it would take a few days to appear (or NOT, or so I hope), I wonder what you folks think.
I know how red light cameras work in the US, and I feel its pretty similar here with the induction loops installed at the intersections.
just don't do it again :) and be careful next time
'SO DARK THE CON OF MAN'
However, I did not post to seek anyone's sympathy here. I know what I did was wrong, and that I have to face the consequences. Just wanted to hear others' experiences. By comparing the cameras to the ones in the US, I meant to say that this would have been captured there, so there isn't any chance of escaping it.
To err is human. Some do it more than others. Those smarting out here are also mere mortals like the rest of us, so they may mess things up elsewhere :)
I did the mistake last winter on a foggy mroning at 05:45 am and I thought the camera might have not taken my number correctly.. But I got a Qr 6,000/- ticket and a good 7 points on my license :(
"I know how red light cameras work in the US...." See...US drivers shouldn't need to sit for their lic here...going by this driver anyways :P
smile lots laugh more
Arrange to apply for PERSONAL LOAN lolzzzzzz
but very sorry for you at the same time
If the left turn signal is green and the straight ahead signal is green at the same time at that intersection, you may be ok.
Otherwise, cough up 6000 QAR for making a left turn from the wrong lane. How can you be in a straight ahead lane and make a left turn "by mistake" unless you're an idiot?

iparacha exile is right if u were in the middle lane ur in the wrong lane how u turn left u should be on the left lane 2 turn left becafule next time from 6000 riyals hope so it will not u or may be mistake by the camera just check after 1 week what will hapen is it u or not good luck wish u all the best next time
If you were in the middle lane then you were in the wrong lane to turn left.
