2007-11-01 2:22 PM
LOADING A VEHICLE IN A WAY THAT CAUSES DANGER TO PEOPLE AND PROPERTIES
AL QASSAR / AL DAFNA Al Istiqlal 600 Q.R

i can't figure out what it means it's a lancer and i have never had anything loaded on it. is it possible it's a mistake and someone took the wrong plate #.

also do i have to pay this?

i only got the car on October 28th so is it possible that it was late getting entered into the system.

Why u loading ppl. in the meddile of the road and blocked that road,

you are expat so it is not allow for you

Really i thought the land crusier drivers are the only problem here in the road, but it looks the police also

why every work done by Qataries ppl looks so bad , they can relax at there comfartable house and tthe expats (they call them slaves in the past) will do every thing and for sure will be good

Ialso got fined for overspeeding in the wakrah-ummsaieed road.Dont know where . They now have lot of mobile radars which will catch u unawares. These highly sophisticated radar doesnt have flash. They can be inside a vehicle parked on the road, or in pickups , etc..

Dont go by the english version of the traffic violation. Go to the arabic version and you will get the clear description of the violation.

Loading / unloading means overspeading. I had to pay QR 700 for the same and you will also get 4 points deducted from your license. If you violate the traffic rules in qatar for upto 14 points(pl. confirm with the authorities)your license will be confiscated and you cannot drive for a period of 6months, I believe.

And if you don't pay up the fine within a certain time limit you'll be liable to charged a fine over & above your penalty.

Safe Driving!!!!

Even i got fine of 6000 riyals for non-compliance with traffic lights in the area where i never went not even in my dreams......so you should feel lucky that they impose fine of only 600 riyals....

MOST PROBABLY, THE POLICE TOOK DOWN A WRONG PLATE#. UNLUCKILY, IT WAS MINE!!! ANY IDEA IF WE COULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS????

Also, I thought that when you buy a car it is your responsibility to ensure it has no outstanding traffic violations, otherwise you have to pay them even it they were committed before you bought the car. I might be wrong about this though, or it may have changed.

If the report is originally written in Arabic, please scan it and send it to me. I can translate it for you.

Sorry for the bad experience.

The online system of the MOI is updated very late. Maybe as late as 3-4 months as of the date the violation was committed.

I had the same situation, my ticket was registered online on Feb 2007, but in fact the traffic officer handed me my ticket back in Nov 2006!!!

So, check the MOI site under Traffic Violations section.

i was told by someone else who got the same fine it was a bad translation for speeding

I think this means the car was parked in a dangerous place while people and/or items were 'loaded' in to or out of it.

If you don't think it was you then you can contest the ticket, otherwise you have to pay it.
