Ambiguous Fines.... Seeking others afftected by false traffic fines

After recently paying a fine with the ambiguous title of "LOADING A VEHICLE IN A WAY THAT CAUSES DANGER TO PEOPLE AND PROPERTIES", I would like to see how many others have been affected with the same fine. Although I can prove that the vehicle was no where near the place stated in the fine, and they could offer no evidence ie pic, I had to pay as I have no way to fight it in an Arabic court.
My wife has recently spoken to 4 other wives , 2 heavily pregnant, who received the same fine, all of which swear they can prove innocence but were also forced to pay.
I know its supposedly for speeding but Im interested in how many other's have received the fine. Its a great win win for the gov, 600qrl for a non existing fine.....easy money.

Ps. I dont want this to turn into a piss and moan rant for all those who want to join the usual moan session on Doha driving, just demographics of others fined please.

“LOADING A VEHICLE IN A WAY THAT CAUSES DANGER TO PEOPLE AND PROPERTIES” means “you have no parking volition”. In Arabic site they will put exact description but in English it is wrong. Also for over speed they message is wrong but the fine is same 500QR.

The best thing to do is, people should know how many radars we have here in Qatar and start memorizing where they are! Joke!

guys did you not read my thread a while back about this?

I already asked about this and they said that it means you DO have a fine, however their system currently has an issue where it ALWAYS displays that as the 'cause' of the fine.

So although it says "Loading the vehicle etc..." it has nothing to do with that but you DO have a fine for another reason. When you go to the traffic authority to pay for it, they'll tell you what you did.

So DON'T rely on the ONLINE checker, go to the Ministry of Traffic and you'll find out what you've done.

"headlines or just simply wanting attention". I know someone who had the same kind of fine. He did not have a clue what is was for and just paid it.

I had fines last year and they are all legitimate, I was quite new in driving sometimes, my first fine is when I parked across Khalifa Stadium and my husband parked next to my car when we got back we both had parking ticket 300 each and the next time is, I assumed that C ring road has the same speed limit as D ring road, thought it's a 100 zone but it was 80 zone. Then one in Salwa road hidden at the bushes and the other one is near the Intercontinental Hotel road. So I paid a total of 1,200. 300 each fines. And now I don't want anymore penalty so! I make sure I remember where all the radars are!

It's great to be loved!

I'm wondering, If all these stories of injustices are just prefabricated headlines or just simply wanting attention. First the water thread, then this. Is just too much excitement going on and loving the gossip of day.

Give us some proof that you received this kind of ticket, be bold and wise to others by giving the warning to the rest. Post it on the web site , don't just write on it.

I could sit in front of my PC, and type injustices but give us some credibility for once in a time.

I still don't believe all this blah, blah ticket deals.

That is just my view point and opinion.

I got fined

for the same "loading in an unsafe manner" or whatever the wording. I loaded nothing and never stopped my car going from my home, to childrens school, back to home.

I got one fine for parking in a no parking area. Totally legitimate. But I have heard a lot of complaints about this ambiguous fines. I think it can be canceled if you go to the police headquarters and explain the situation. I remember someone saying so in one of the earlier threads. Good luck driving in Qatar !
