Hello everyone , 

I got an SMS from Metrash that says "PLEASE REPORT TO investigations section INDUSTRIAL AREA STREET NO 52 ABOUT VEHICLE NUMBER XXXXX.

Then immediately another SMS from Metrash that says about the violation registered date and the fine amount.

Here i should pay the fine in industrial area 52 ?

Can anyone tell me what is the reason for the first message ?

Is there is any deadline that i should bring my car to Industrial area 52?

Waiting for advice.

The same message came to me, and my car was on hold for two weeks because of a small pillow on the back window shield. I didn't receive any ticket on Metrash2, but I was told to pay 1k there. The captain started treating me like I had killed someone and was running away. Except for me, everyone had made huge mistakes like driving others' cars without a license, crossing red signals, and doing car stunts. The traffic officer who was working at the gate post was polite and said it's not a mistake, but just pay the penalty and take your car. I pulled two times inside and outside because the captain working in the counter was very rude and insisted that I needed to hold my car inside no matter what. I was innocent and treated like a criminal, and I felt very unsafe. I was doing whatever they said. After I started noticing there are many cars on the road having stickers, pillows, dolls, curtains. I felt very sorry for myself and innocent because it was from my previous owner. I don't know how long he was driving with that pillow, and I didn't bother to remove it. I drove that car for 2 years, and now it got seized

Hello Guys and Girls! this is to notify you that recently i had received a similar text Quote on Quote "PLEASE REPORT TO investigations section INDUSTRIAL AREA STREET NO 52 ABOUT VEHICLE NUMBER XXXXX'' and just like any other expat i could barely focus on anything else, after seeing that. because i usually avoid the usual chaos on road. the next day i visited The Head Quarters Traffic Department in Madin'at Khalifa. i recommend go as early as 6'30 am or 7'00 am. turns out i received a 1000 Qr/- fine (has to be paid on spot or anytime you have money). because i had Window Stick-On Sun Shade (Sitara) in my car. BE CAREFUL GUYS DON'T USE THEM AND SAVE YOURSELF FROM THIS VIOLATION. THANKS AND MAY THE ODDS BE IN YOUR FAVOR.

Its a deserted area, there you'll see a limousine or two if your car is seized. and best part is you'll have a option either you can leave your vehicle or pay the fine then an there and remove your wanted status. worst thing is most of the occasions your are summoned there, are some stupid incidents which you may have never done and other drives are doing it every day, every second. of course there's no one you could really explain your situation and never given a chance.

harjet: are you suggesting that he tell an untruth ?

My car was once sized because I renews it late after 6months. The police man asked me where is my car I told him outside the station and he asked me to bring it in and it was sized for 2weeks.

If you don't want it seized you can go without your car then show them the message. They will ask where is the car, if it is driveable or not (The answer is left to you) as you wish yes or no. May be if you answer no you can just pay your debt and leave.

But I assure you your car can't be seized for life.

Don't forget to hunt is on the outcome.

Best of luck.

Actually vehicle seizure department is located at 52 industrial area. There are chances that your car will be seized for some definite time due to traffic violation (this normally occurs as a result of wrong parking).
