My friend's husband was also fined for QR6,000, though different violation, beating the red light somewhere in C Ring Road. Both husband and wife went to the Captain in Madina Khalifa and plead the Captain to reconsider the penalty. And checking on the husband's record as he did not often have traffic violation, his fine was reduced to QAR300.

You can give a try to talk with the Captain. Consideration is on case to case basis for sure.
