relax Tony, as I said - you're not getting a ticket unless you were driving at 120/hr :o)

Hey,

Checked on the website, nothing there yet, supposedly I must have been caught on Monday. Any chance I'd still have a ticket after 4 days?

speeding and crossing red lights are two different things pple! if you were at a right speed and only crossed on flashing green - it's fine. I've done it so many times that if I was to get a fine, I'd be out of business by now :o)

if you have smiled to the camera, they will let u pay a 100QR only. but since u did not that must be serious :P

You guys are still lucky that you ppl drive your cars @ 80KM or sometime 100 - 120Km.. here in Australia the maximum speed is 70KM even in highways its not more then 80......which is such a bull s***...

Here 80 means 80, no relaxation.

how much is the relaxation in the speed limits set on the Radarshere in Qatar? As in Dubai you can generally go 20Km/h over the displayed speed limit... Sheikh Zayed Road is an exception where you can drive upto 160Km/h where as the speed limit is displayed at 120Km/h...

Waiting for your comments...

It's very simple mate,if the light was green,flashing green or even orange when you passed & you saw the camera flash,you were doing over 80 kmph...check online in about 2 days & you'll know for sure either way...good luck!

Man, I swear it had just started blinking, and Jorjetka, I rented a f***ing SEAT IBIZA, it takes like 10 min to get from 0 to 80 so I was max 60 km/h fast, hope u r both right and i get away with it...will keep u posted

Speed cameras are installed on traffic intersections.

Flashing green - you put your fut down and bang:

500QR if you are lucky.

I crossed Ramada signal on flashing green at 2am doing about 90km/h. Result 600QR and 4 points.

Be careful mate.

no ticket for crossing over a flashing green light - technically it's still green and flashing is just a warning that it'll turn red

the flashing you think you saw is probably the guy behind you flashing you to drive faster or get out of the way :o)
