@landlover : yeah I know landlover u said 500 But still its strange you are lucky that they didn't ask you to pay before renew istimara

Yup.. I mean 500QR not 500 times my dear. :)) someone told me that they will not renew istimara without clearing the dues but it is on my from 1 and year but they did not ask me.

@landlover: ohh Really ?

In three months I got fine as mentioned below For Over speeding.

1st fine 500

2nd Fine 600

3rd Fine 600

4th fine 700

total=> 2400 Qar

But now 8 months Passed I didn't get any Alhamdulillah :)

i paid 600 Qr for not put the seat belt which is weird for me since i always wears seatbelt all the time.....something smell fishy there .but i dont want to make it worse and pay the fine as a good resident.....

1ST FINE-QRS.100 - SEAT BELT

2ND FINE-QRS.500 - SEAT BELT & QRS.500 - DRIVING WITHOUT LICENSE BOTH ON SAME DAY:(

Last year Paid Qrs 500 , this year still to pay Qrs 500,Talking on phone while driving....

mafi

he is one of your friend joking w/u

i think

mafi

he is one of your friend jocking w/u

i think

one of my Colleague has 15000QAR Fine , may be is getting a 3000Qar salary per month.

I got a parking ticket last two months ago. never saw my violation on MOI website. lucky me, i guess.

.

and i have 28 points guyz what should i have to do now?

three and a half years and no fine so far!!!!

raZor ?????

u need points, still I have three points for sale !!

Mine was totally pathetic and ridiculous !

Got a fine of total 1100 in a week (Last week) :(

First one is of my fault. I took an "illegal" left turn in a main signal and a cop noted down my car number !

Second, still a mystery. My dad received a message in his phone from metrash that a speed fine has been registered with 102 KM/Hr. But, when checked in the website, it just says "Loading a vehicle in a way that causes danger to people and properties"...

Hope I can somehow negotiate on the second fine but Im just feeling a bit lucky coz, none of them counts for points :)

LP: no violations on the moon? I heard they are strict there....

Nothing in Qatar, since 1989, and nothing elsewhere in the world after having been driving 3 times to the moon and back.

1000

yes badar inshallah agreed with you die for our pakistan :)

anyway what is the speed 80 and you go by 100 or 120......................

ooooo i got more than 5000 in a month

in april 2010 i got 3 violation of hidden radars....amount of 1000QR

and right now my car is reserved by traffic department

and i have to 9000QR :(

On your regular route to the office, If the Traffic dept has placed a new camera under the flyover. and you are speeding there as usual everyday, without even the least clue that you are monitored. suppose I go speeding for a month and everyday twice I am monitored. how much will the fine amount be. will it be the amount multiplied by the frequency of voilation or what else??? anyone please answer.

Steve

Revised list after Last week :-

Two years completed

Paid 600 For over speed

3 x 100 To get a accident report (some one hit my car when I parked in LUlu)

The First no parking fine I got y.day night from AL_meera

so total : 600 + 300 + 300

no parking... lane changing... creating 2 lane road into 3 lane road... + one accident 100 :) just happy..! and one more 3 points as well!!

Be extremely careful while dropping people at the airport.Got QR 500 as right hand side was fully blocked with cars parked.Just stopped without getting out on the left hand side and opened the dicky and cop came and gave me the sticker.Be careful at the airport, cops are always around 24 hrs there.

I got QR500 fine for overtaking at the right lane...i've been driving in doha for two yrs now.

not bad..

Nearly 2 years here and confused with my 2 fines to date...1st fine was for parking outside W Hotel in the evening. No restrictions anywhere and not blocking or being of danger to anyone - 500QR and 3 points. 2nd fine was for speeding with NO POINTS. How is this possible? Points for parking and not speeding????

They need to sort out the system here. With no legitimate way to challenge the fines people HAVE to pay, unless you want to face the gauntlet of the police station.

If, as I'm lead to believe the offices are now paid commission on tickets (10% apparently), without them having to supply photographic proof of offences, then the system becomes comical and simply a revenue generator (not that it's required!). It's only recently that you've started getting officers on all the main junctions eagerly looking for people to ticket. If it makes drivers wear belts and stop talking on the phone, then great, incentivise away. When it applies to parking...it just doesn't work.

Within one and half years...only 300 QR for parking (only in march 2010) and three accidents (two in last month). Accident - not my fault.And also 3 points for parking.

Got my first Violation 2 days ago with fine of QR600 for over speeding. Was caught by a sneaky radar.

I remember one hobby of my late uncle...he likes to make report to police when he catching somebody that drives overspeeding...

His doing that as a revenge after somebody reporting him for overspeeding on a road in the middle of the desert..LOL

I'm sad because he cannot doing his old hobby again in Philippine...because law is nothing when you have lots of money

in 2 year so far 500 for parking in front of Gulf Cinema, middle land. there are 50 of them with me.....50*500=good money....

I have always maintained a fairer system would be more like:

pay 30% of your monthly salary for crossing the red light.

This would hit everyone more equally - the mega-rich and the low paid equally.

Mind you given the difficulty the authorities have of enforcing rules, it would be screwed up quite quickly.

Well we aren't driving in the US now, are we?

6000 does sound a lot though for running a red light but then again your actions on the road can cost someone's life so better be careful while driving.

I do know about you.... but 6000QR for crossing a red light is just too much. I mean there are people that do not even make that much per month, not to mention per year. Sometimes I say to myself that some people are just reluctant to stop ... and therefore I support the extensive amount; but at the same time , poor, labor, drivers & other limited income people are just punished for other people's reckless actions and that is not fair. I have been here for almost 2 years and I have paid almost 2000 QR for different violations. And yes I have reduced a 6000 QR fine to 500 QR. But I did have justifications to support my appeal.I turned right on a RED LIGHT ... for people who are familiar with the driving regulations in the US, know what I am talking about. I simply did not know that it is not allowed in Qatar.

Got my first fine of 300QR for no parking at hamad hospital but not paid until now

I got 500 riyal in Lulu Hyper parking and i went to clear it after 8 months in the counter i came to know i have another 500 ...the next week again got 500 and last week i got 500 too but no point this time....so proud to drive in road since i have 2000 QR share till this time............

i'm lucky enough to have no fines in 3 years...

I've been in Qatar for 9 months now. And I've paid 300 QAR...the ticket was for parking...on a night that I was at home with my car parked in the garage below my apartment....on a road that I have NEVER been on before...

After going to the main police station, they told me to go to another station, I got there and they told me to go to yet another one, and when I got there they told me to go back to the main station....finally, I just paid.

DRIVING FROM 1997 AND FINED 2 TIME FOR NO PARKING 200 + 300

500QR+400QR in 15 years of Driving overspeeding and the speed was 85Km & 90Km Ph

When the guys had the fine removed, was it because you were at fault or they just compromised?

I was at fault. I was driving on autopilot. The light turned red and I stopped, but then made a right turn (like I would do at home) and the camera got me. It was stupid of me, of course. So I went to the traffic department and talked to the director. I explained my situation and was very apologetic and asked if there was anything he could do. The photo shows me making the turn and traveling at less than 5kph and it was my first offense. So he let me go with no fine and no points. I would like to say that I was a great negotiator, but it really depends on your situation, the person's mood, the alignment of the stars and so forth.

When the guys had the fine removed, was it because you were at fault or they just compromised?

When the guys had the fine removed, was it because you were at fault or they just compromised?

Whey the guys had the fine removed, was it because you were at fault or they just compromised?

@Khawaga:

How did u negotiate??

Info can be useful :P

I country: 7 months

I was able to negotiate the 6000 for running a red light down to nothing. Not even points on the license. The other fine was a speeding ticket.

Zero Riyal for the last 9 years

once I stopped near Qtel roundabout (emergency parking area)for 2 minutes. to my surprise, i was fined QR400.

now a days i have seen cops at the traffic lights filming with camcorders . Is that for proof that you are talking on the phone/ not wearing seat belts?

I am driving for almost close to 2 years now, No Penalty at all....i feel just because...i keep one thing in mind always that is...i can't afford paying those for just silly reason..

7years and 500 fine last year. i was driving offroad since heavy traffic on r/obout, that bas**d was hiding behind one big truck.

no fine yet (alhumdullilah)

10 yrs of driving in qatar...still driving...nd njoying my ride within set rules....

Seems its one rule for us and one rule for the locals here..... And I dont think it will ever change as the cops are just as bad as the locals!!!!

None till date...I have been driving in Qatar for 15 years & luckily never been charged with a fine (Alhamdulillah).

I have on two different occasions been sitting at a red traffic light along side a marked police car when a 'local' has driven straight through the red light without stopping. Both times the police have done nothing! The police just watched the car drive away without taking any action. On one of the occasions the two police officers had a little laugh to themselves. How funny I thought.

for 2 years no violations done...yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

no fines..just 3 months of driving

Khanan great record...

Khattak are you sure you never get into racing against SUVs? ;)

I got penalty for being slow while takin U turn

and 2nd penalty for seat belt which is really shocking

I do follow road rules religiously

Have been driving for 2 years in diha... Fine of 1100

2 X 500 in citicentre and 100 for accident

Much better compared to Dubai where my average was 2500 a year for 5 years...

In the U.S. this whole issue would be called a (racket).

PLS MAY I KNOW WHERE ARE U REALY DRIVING,

PLS MAY I KNOW WHERE ARE U REALY DRIVING,

Until know Only 300 for paking in 2 years.

zero fine for 5 yrs. just follow the all traffic signs all over qatar. for instance, if you find 80 or 100 speed limit, pls follow even there is no camera. remember, your family is always waiting you at home safely. wake up early to avoid overspeeding.

All those who have paid fines show how poor & bad drivers they are... and they seem to be proud about it, its like an big achievement for them.

Zero (0) Qatari Riyals.

i know eco

:(

but it just happened

and clothe them too. I have paid only QAR 500 and one more is due :(

can i :( ?

it is impossible in this country

i even thought to buy a bicycle ;)

one_shot.... Stop Driving :P

3000QR

3 dots

6 violations

all of that within 20 days

it was just bad days that is all

d.boy why don't you try killing someone, it's even more thrilling.

Khanan good record, I am impressed :)

in 10 years of Driving

overspeeding and parking...

18000 QR in 4 years .....3 red Lights ... still thrill is on ..:P

I have been driving in Doha for the past 14 years, but until 2007, I hardly paid any traffic penalities. But for the past 2 and half years I have been paying almost QR. 500/- every six months (i.e.QR. 2,500/- almost) for wrong parking. Also, once, I got ticket for mobile using.

i jus only give 300 and 500

none till date... once I was caught at matar signal and got my name noted. but some how my Puss In Boots innocent expression helped to get away

No fine in 2 years. But 1 accident. But not my fault.

consider it as a tax, thats how things goes not only in traffic violation in everything around you, you pay too much for nothing much......

2600qr total till i got license its 3 years aproximately

During over four years of my stay in Doha...I've paid QR 700/- once for over speeding...which I am sure wasn't me driving the car at that time. It was a company's given car & my colleagues would often use it during office hours.

15k in my five years so far which does not include any red light jumping..a collection of no parking and radar violation and no-seat belt

Dear Sir

I just like to say I am really sorry reading your sad story. REALLY REALLY SORRY

MY INTIUITION IS THAT WHEN WE ARE SUFFERING FROM A DIASTER OR BAD EVENT WE TRY TO CATCH OTHERS' SYMPATHY. It is really painful just be neglegent of the traffic light and have to pay your whole monthly salary for that. I used to pay an equal to 50 QR amount of money even when I was driving over 165 KPH in my home, whereas I paid 10 times more just driving 96 in an area where the Mx speed was 80. I think the traffic fines are high for Non-Qataries coming here to save some ... After all I don't like to be fined more than that 7,500 painful one.

I hope all of you may not get such a bad luck.

Regards

Mohsen

fuw,

Regarding your question I would like to share my experience,

A few months back I bought a car, when I went maroor to get it registered I was asked by the lady on the desk to submit Qr-3000/- as a fine for driving a vehicle on the wrong side of the road...

But I was dead sure...it was never happened, so, I went to the main traffic department Madina Khalifa for the evidence & Alhamdolilah! They said sorry it was all by mistake:)

I have been driving here for 18 years & luckily never been charged with a fine:)

But my husband gets fine tickets often for parking ;)

i should be one of good customers to the Violation Section..i pay ATLEAST an average of 4.5k to 5k every 6 months for my violations...still escaped the Traffic Light violation. The day i achieve it,,the average would surely rise...lol

for 6000QR, even though they admitted I didn't DO the violation they initially accused me of, (running a red light) 6000QR, even the video they have of me proves I didn't do it, so they gave me some paperwork to do and said they would lower it to the real violation of turning right on red (600QR), which I admit to.

I was happy and waited and waited, and after months I never heard form them, so I went back and did it all over again, and some snobby young Qatari punk gave me the papers again and he signed them and I turned them in again, and waited and waited...

Finally I decided to leave Qatar and my company was waiting for me to take care of the ticket so they could stamp my exit permit, but the traffic people never did it. I was down to two days before I had to leave, and the morons never did it so I finally just went down to pay it, and the funny thing is, they wouldn't let me!

They were all "No, no! Not 6000QR, we fix to 600QR! GO upstairs and do paperwork to change!" I told her I been through all that over the last couple months, and just demanded to pay the whole damn thing so I could get the hell out of that crap country. I consider it a fine I didn't mind paying, as it let me escape.

Yester day I found a sticker in my car for traffic violation in lulu hypermarket parking while I comeback from shopping. Actualy I parked my car between the two cars parked before me and there were no best way to park any car than the way I parked my car but one wheel were out of the line. This is first time for me that any violation in 15 years of my stay in Qatar.And still I dont know the penality that howmuch I have to pay.

No fine for me as yet... :)

600 each time for over speed.

i got two no parking fines in 2 weeks in a row on both fridays .. one for 500 then the next friday for 300 and over speeding for 500 .. sigh...

this year so far QR500..hopes it stays that way..:)

Tough year 2000 for me and 600 my honey-2600 QR.In the eyes of law Im a criminal.Now Im fully respectable and dedicated to the traffic rules in the desert!But let me tell you hows the stuff works!Mr.Mohhamed calls Mr.Ahmed,whos by chance his relative from the third marriege of his dad,and by chance its some office rat in some police station...than they have long conversation both driving in the same time VXRs,trying to kill evrything on the road.Al Hamdulila!Mr.Mohhamed its very pissed off -he was flashing and tailing on you but you couldnt move very fast..Also he is very pissed off becouse his wife was cheating on him and he found that she is up to womens Wala,thats not the end ..Mr.Mohhamed also had terible hangover becouse he found that his boyfriend also cheat on him..Wala!What a day and this jackass in front of him,than he reports your plate number just to give you slight advise,not to brake the local rules!End of Story!

PS.Mr.Mohamed please send my warmest regards to your lovely mom!

Were you really driving ? ;)

I have been driving in Doha for 18 years and so for I have paid only Qr. 300. Two times (Qr.200)for wrong parking and once (Qr.100)for a minor accident for being my fault.

No license n No car

QR 500 only during our 4 1/2yr tenure in DOHA..

both average 2500 QAR the last one year...

its odd... I've been driving for ten years and my wife for four and we hadn't paid a single penny until now...

sad to know all the fines come togeather ..

OOOpppsss it got posted 3 times... sorry for that

I have been driving for last 5 years and dint have any fine... but i got 4 fines in last two months for overspeeding and wrong parking... total QR 1,800 ;(((

QAR 300 for expensive parking fee

QR 1200

more than 5000 QR in 3 years

once i got a ticket for 1000 QR . coz i was going out from the supermarket and forget my car light ..

500QR for speeding, and 500QR for something else, I don't know what, it was in Arabic and I can't read Arabic. And before you ask, no I didn't even consider questioning it! Has anybody ever been able to have a fine removed or repaid? Now that's an interesting question!

As per average it looks reasonable.

Almost 3 years - 800QR ...

500 for Using mobile while driving :P

300 for Parking :(

I think 800QR in total is reasonable ...isnt it ?

500QR... :(

i know its less but i shall try my best to achieve 6000 goal... :D
