How come you get a car that can drive over speed limit and you dont have enough salary to pay for your penalty?

You should have known that there are rules and regulation before you set your cars on fire.

Theres no room for ignorance here in qatar, warnings and signs are all over the place before you enter a radar surveillanced area.

You just got a lesson, the hard way.

That will teach you how to drive within the speed limit!

I am sure that you are fully aware of the traffic rules and regulation here in Qatar.

No discount for sure.

i think you shouldn't ask this question BUT they might give discount IF there was an emergency case and you have to provide supportive documents .

once upon a time i had 4 speed tickets ( i was driving like 150km/h and above !! ) , i was driving from Dukhan to Wakrah , and i left all my marks there ..

my father was very sick and should be rushed to the HMC - emergency center .

when i went to the traffic dep. i have spoke to the captin , he is a gentelman and he took off the whole 4 tickets as if i wasn't driving that day ;)

take care and watch out about the radars , aint no moer jocks brother , THE NEW TRAFFIC LAW IS AFFECTIVE

my dear friend, why don't you just follow the rules and regulations of qatar, self discipline is the best answer to save your salary, instead of paying the penalties. qatar is not like philippines that you can talk over what you got... be good boy

I think it's not learning rocket science when you see a radar on the road, the amount of your penalty is just a simple reminder for you to follow a simple traffic rule as simple as that.

There are far too many speeding motorists on the roads in Qatar. As a licensed driver (which I presume you might be) you should know how to drive within the speed limits.

Welcome to the Karwa bus service - another speeding motorist out of action!!

Well my friend If I am traffic police I would take your licence for some time. I really hope you will pay a full amount, because next time if you drive fast you will remeber how painfull is to pay a big amount of money for stupidity.

it's better for you not to drive my friend if the ticket is more than your salary :)))

It certainly never hurts to ask. This is the Middle East, everything is negotiable!
