Is it a traffic violation to overtake thru' the right side which is emergency line?
Today when Iwas driving, I overtook a car thru' right side which is emergency lane seperated by yellow lines.When I came infront of the car I saw that it was driven by a Policeman in uniform. I am afraid he has note down my Car no. If its a traffic violation, what can be the fine and points???????
Somebody told me that it can be QR6000 and my licence may be cancelled as it is less than 3 months old. Is it true? When can I know in the moi site whether i hv fined or not????????
Well, of course it's illegal to drive on the shoulder/emergency lanes. There would be a lot less traffic tie-ups in Doha if people didn't do this.
Well if you're so unfortunate as to have overtaken a POLICEMAN from the right, and if the Gods frowned upon you and he actually took your license plates, then you're lookin' at a fine of no less than 1000 riyals. I got fined 500 riyals for making an illegal U-turn. A buddy of mine got a 500 riyals fine for driving too close to the car infront of him. That's the annoying thing with traffic laws here, you never know who's lookin'. It doesn't have to be a police officer who saw you, any Qatari who has contacts in Traffic department and whom you flipped off or messed with on the road will get your number and fine your ass!!
My advice, NEVER be matcho when you see a fancy car next to you, coz you'll pay the piper my friend!!
pwnd !!
Yes dear, overtake from right side is a serious traffic violation and you should pay some fine. Check www.moi.com.qa, i hope he didnt write your number but dear, please careful in future
Yes it is violation, try to check in moi, i think first offense is less than what you think..
Yes this is a Traffic Violation. You can only overtake from the Left Side of any vehicle
