it's true....the drivers in our company were made aware of it....not using seatbelt and using mobile while driving is a whooping 10-50k penalty!!!

50ooo QR is just enough for an extremely drunk driver who even hit someone in the street or hit another car in the street, that when being investigated by an officer assaults the officer maybe direct assault or physical assault. Oh well, if you don't want to pay, try incarceration.

Its not an email circulation, its not a softcopy, It was furnished hardcopy.

If you have received one, it first listed the number of points with an equivalent suspension until termination of license, then listed are the offenses with their corresponding consequences.

It is true and already implemented from this October. I saw that document, distributed in our organization by traffic deptt. I was surprised to see that min. fine for over speeding is QR10000/-, it is crazy indeed. Most of the min fines are QR10000/-.

the range of fines is true like 10ooo QR to 50ooo QR or 3 months to 1 year imprisonment or both. All depends on gravity of the offense. but i don't know if it has been trippled, becuase I haven't seen the original circulation, I just received the latest issued October 2009

That's true, not all but most, if you can see my answer to the fines for driving under the influence of alcohol when someone asked a question in here.
