Hello All,
Yesterday I checked the traffic violation of my vehicle and was surprised to find one violation on my name. The violation reads as LOADING THE VEHICLE IN A WAY THAT CAUSES DANGER TO PEOPLE AND PROPERTIES. and the location mentioned is Wakra & Um Saeed.
I dont know what this means and I have never Loaded my vehicle!!!! in fact i was the only person in my car with no any materials loaded into it!!!!. Now how to interpret this violation and how to convince the authorities about this..
Thanks in Advance for your replies

A Colleague of mine was caught "Dangerously loading" so we investigated. Apparantly the police do this as it only incurs a fine, whereas speeding incurs a fine AND demirit points against your license. Consider yourself lucky!

LOAD, if we go to the ehtymology of languages, or just see the word of loading Thresaurus.

The word of 'load' if attached with vihicle will be have a general meaning is,.... TREATING.

You treats the car in any cases of make danger to people or material. So not only speed, but in your case, I believe you've speed or make acrobatic turn in roudabout.

If you feels this is unFAIR, you can claim the evidence, like photos or recorded cam.

Dear Friend,

Just replace the word Loading with Driving and read it. It necessarily doesnt mean speeding but it may also mean you are going zigzag on the tracks (Left most track to the Rightmost and vice versa) frequently.

Loading means moving your vehicle in such a manner that may cause...

u must have overspeeded ur car at a signal light, as most of the cameras at signal lights are having double sensors (i.e. it will sense the red light jumping as well as the overspeed i.e. 80 KMPH)

If you check the arabic version of the violation description most probably it will be for speeding. The same thing happened to me and other people.

No need to convince anyone you just pay them for the speeding violation.
