Friday 2100 hrs. (After University R/A towards doha) first traffic signal.

It was already red light and i have stop my car but unfortunately the front wheel came on stop line and with in few seconds camera flashed back from back, may be two or three times but I never crossed the line and kept the car on the same place.

Will it consider as a red light crossing, After ward I went to Madinat khalifa police station nd explained them the situation, they told about the video which practically I could not understand actually. I am worried. Your experience and guidance please.

U will not get any fine because these cameras detect the exact speed u were driving , one they see the the speed status on your case they will automatically cancel the fine.. and yea,, if in any case they fine u then u have the full rights to as a video or photo copy of the picture.. along with them comes all the necessary ifo lyk date,time speed, place etc..

log onto the MOI website...you may be lucky and it was someone else, or there was no film in the camera.

As of my knowledge, if your crossing the signal by mistake and suddenly you stop the vehicle and if its not the reason for traffic block, then you have to pay the penalty only 500/- QR. you have to pay 6000/- QR, if u crossed red signal and did not stopped. otherwise you stopped in the middle of the Intesection and if there is a traffic block. hope here you are safe.

I've had this experience twice. They never fined me for that...

The camera flashes twice when someone jumps the red light. The first picture shows the car crossing the line and the second shows the car crossing the junction. In your case both the pictures shows that you are the same spot... so I believe you shouldn't be fined...

My friend crossed the same signal once by mistake and it flashed... but was never fined...

Incase you are fined, follow medo9944's steps ;)

Good luck!

1. Recieved real notice that you have cross the red light

2. watch the video which is showing that you cross the red light if your speed was 0 and you just cross the red light you have two option

a. guilty then pay full fine 6000 QR

b. not Guilty then go to

3.the colinel with nice smile and tell him you was just stop after the line your speed was 0000 then he will believe you or not if he believe you then sure save the money give some for boor people

or if he said no then maybe he could make it 500

Don't worry. That's the idea of having this camera...you can always contest your side. And from what you are saying..I know the traffic office will not consider this as jumping the red light. Again...don't worry.
