In every other country you would have to pay an interest on late payments.
It is absolutely hilarious how the Traffic Department compliments and supports traffic violators. They should double the penalties for those who pay one month late!! Only in Qatar even the authorities make fun of their own laws!
does anyone know if we can pay with a debit card or only credit card at the traffic department. Thanks
A good move to encourage people to pay up. I hope that once the April deadline passes , the authorities will take strong measures against those still outstanding.
While appreciating the step taken by traffic department, I must say it is unfair for those people who has already cleared their traffic fines in 2015 itself. The authorities should also consider those people's plea and credit back 50% of the fines that they paid already in 2015 for the violations took place in 2015.
@Lopzcha as far as im concerned its 500 QR without points and additional penalty depends on how much you exceeded on the required speed limit.
does any one know how much points? is over speeding violation, fine is 600 QR
Thank you Traffic Department :3
Really Good News !
