vinod019: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Tell this to the judge when you or your "friend" get to see him. He will enjoy hearing your definition of "crime"!

You should have checked up the meaning of the word "crime" in Google before posting your comment.

I wish, he will be punished with maximum penalty, imprisonment and deportation.

That would be good. Imprisonment for say 3 months will devoid him from drinks inside the prison and that may help him to "possibly" kick the habit. Deportation would help save other citizens of Qatar from becoming a victim of this person in future. Also, I do not believe the incident took place with a "friend". I believe the person who posted this is himself involved in this crime.

Due to drunk driving, his Insurance is not valid. HE will have to repair his own car, other person car and injury claim.

Also As per Article 57 of the Traffic Law, any person who drives a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs or any other psychotropic substances shall be punished according to Article 94 of the law, by which the offender shall be sentenced either to imprisonment for not less than one month and not more than three years or a fine not less than QR10,000 and not more than QR50,000. In addition, the court can also order deportation of the person from the country.
