This rule simply does not make any sence. What difference does it make to the safety of your car who it is taken to the inspection station by? My car is roadworthy & in good repair whether I take it to the car inspection place or someone else takes It for me. I would also assume if it was not roadworthy it would still fail with or without my presence.

I'm here in Qatar to do a job for my employer, why should I not be able to pay someone good money to do this time consuming, tedious job while I continue to do mine.

If they want owners to do it I suggest they open all day until 11pm like they do in Abu Dhabi (who don't care who takes your car for inspection). This rule just makes your life a hassle & it simply makes no sence.
