Traffic Violation

I received a traffic fine of 1000Q.

I was asked to take the car to investigations section / industrial area. Only later I understood that the car would be impounded. 

How long do they do it for? Any way to reduce the duration.

 

The hukoomi website does not provide details. Then, based on reference number I was told I did not leave enough space between car in front. 

I am a careful driver that have driven 145,000 kms so far without any traffic violation ever. No accidents. No fines ever.

I dont even recall driving like this.

I still feel the fine and the impounding is too much.

Please advise. 

[I dont want critizing comments like putting others life at risk. I am pretty sure, I am a careful driver with no traffic violation ever].

Rules are not permanent ......... they are made by looking at the mistake you habitually make .................... your new mistakes will call for new rules & heavier fines .........

Paragraph 1: Anyone participating in traffic (that includes pedestrians, too) has to behave in such a way that neither he nor any third person is endangered. - You don't need more than this.

Paragraph 2: Follow the traffic signs and lines.
