I was driving through the grand hamad street today. There was an accident in the middle of the intersection. In order to save the truck which committed the accident. I moved to left and suddenly the signal closed. I had my tires after the white line. The moment the camera flashed, i reversed my car back before the white line.
My question is that is my vehicle in picture?
Because I suddenly moved my car back.

I think the camera takes the picture only in the middle of the intersection.

Please place your opinions...

if you really cross the signal the fine will be 6000 but there are alot of exceptions like, after the flash if you reverse the car to the safe place they will charge only 1000. My fried had the same experience. Muroor first charge 6000 in website. he collected the picute and met Captain. He reduce it to 1000 with out any arguments....So in your case ....99% i belive u r in the safe place..otherwise u have to pay only 1000......

The small camera will flash when you cross the white line and the bigger camera will confirm that you are proceeding forward. So don't worry you were safe from the bigger camera.

Thank God!

The camera does not cover the area near the white line

I am a bit relaxed now

Oh my God, didn't you forsee what was coming up? You will be charged for not looking into the future. How can you think that "red' means 'stop' and "green" means 'go'. This only applies to civilized countries. Did ya forget where you are?

First of all check in their site maybe u dont have any fine, bcz sometimes the camera flash and its to someone else and u think was to you. check this website if you have fine then u can go to traffic office and explain.

The camera will take several pictures clearly showing the progress as you go thru the red light. So if you go to the traffic police, ask them to look at the pictures which will prove your point.

do not worry...go to the customer desk and ask them for the photo and after seeing it yourself then ask to meet Captain In charge and explain him the situation....but first make sure that ur fine has come in the system...in cases wen radar clicks and there is clarity that its a mistake then fines dont appear...so all the best and i shall pray that nothing comes up for u...
