yellow sticker given for a traffic violation

Around 6:30 pm today, I've crossed a roundabout after Markhia. I've entered the R/A while the yellow light was flashing. Suddenly, the car beside me, which was also entering the R/A cut me. I stopped to give way to him but the lights were already red and I am in the middle of the R/A. So I continue driving. There was a police officer on the other side and he gave me a yellow sticker with arabic letters. I asked someone and told me that the violation was breaking the lights. Can someone tell me how much will this cost? Can someone tell me what to do in order to clear or verify to the Traffic Division what happened during that incident? Thanks and I am hoping for all of your immediate reply because my car's registration will nearly expire in a couple of weeks. Please, help.

Thanks to all of your comments. I really appreciate. By the way, I already check the website of MOI and the violation is already posted. 7 points and 6000 QAR. It is really hard for me to pay that amount because I am only a simple worker here in Qatar. Is there someone who could help me to negotiate with the Traffic Police Department and tell them what really happened on that time. It is very hard to go there because I really don't speak Arabic. I would really appreciate if someone could help me. Please, help... Again, thanks to all of your comments....

plead or can do anything, but ultimately you have to pay the fine, so be prepared accordingly, but sorry to hear the incidence but you have to pay.

Heu, i feel sorry for you.

I tried to attest a parking violation that was given to us while our car was in our garage. It took us a whole day and 2 police stations to find out that the chief would let us know something when he found out something..... Ha that never happened :(

You are just screwed when they do something like this to you. I feel with you

As far as I know it's legal to enter a round-about on a flashing yellow. You cannot enter or proceed on a red. You may just have to go and explain all this.
