i also got a traffic fine of 6K and 7points :( :( way back september last year.

how i got it?

well, i took a u-turn at airport/matar qadeem signal. and i almost barely beat the orange light... but still i got caught.

it was a nerve wracking thought from there onwards until the day before yesterday when i am required to renew my "istimara"

well, there was a huge sigh of relief after visiting madina khalifa traffic office. i got a copy of photo taken at the violation time and brought to their reviewing personel... and after a few minutes of thinkering over the video recording, he reduced my fine from QR6K to QR500!!!

at that moment... who could be more happier than me?!

the experience tells me that they were considerate enough to assess the gravity of the consequences.

yeah, if you can tell them the real situation at that instance... i think they will understand and re-consider.

Good Luck :)
