Driving an automatic

Quote from today's Qatar Peninsula
"The fine for a motorist driving an automatic car and caught resting his legs on the dash board or the side seat is QR10,000 and a jail term of a month to three years, Al Kharji said."
I assume it's OK in a manual (and yes it does happen)

Not using seatbelts, using cellphones while driving have FINES but still I see some not following these...

What's the fine for steering using the elbows while both hands are on a PSP ?

I've seen this several times along the corniche. Wohoo ... talk about keeping ones eyes on the road!

you means one leg? because the other leg have to be on the accelerator. So it have to be double penalty for both leg.
