Red Light Running
Hello,
I was at an intersection in West Bay this morning in a queue of traffic waiting for a light to go green. We were all waved through by two Lakhwiya policeman whilst the light was on red, and therefore the traffic camera went off capturing us all going through a red light. The reason for them waving us through was a motorcade on the other side of the road.
Has anyone any experience with a similar event, and what happens with regards to receiving any fine for running the red light? My expectation is that as we were waved through by police, and there were hundreds of cars, on both sides of the road, there will be no penalty issued.
Can anyone help?
I have driven past red lights 3 or 4 times while sent by policeman.
when ever there is a policeman directing traffic at a Traffic signal or Roundabout all other signs are null.
only policeman's command is valid.
it was thought at driving school too.
No need to worry about! even if its comes out, the have whole video and they will cancel it by their own
The car is actually a rental at the moment. Is it worth tell the rental company or just seeing what happens?
It happened with me once and i wasnt given any penalty...all the best...they will remove from the system...
while the motorcade is going through and everybody "caught" is clear from the offense.
Still wait for a few days and check either in http://www.moi.gov.qa or if you are registered in METRASH you'll be notified of the fault.
Write down the date and time and if you are fined, with this information you can ask for "clearance" since it was a direction from the authorities to keep on moving!!!
Regards!!
You wont be fined..relax buddy...
The same thing happened to me once... I ended up getting a fine for Qr 5,000.You can expect the same. Good Luck
you believe he was a real cop ?
