Tarffic Fine Allowance from the Empolyer

By keromal

Dear Expats..........

 

As you are all aware there are  High Traffic Fine & nearly every Signal is having a Radar, You can save your As__ , any bad day can make you in Signal Jumping, not because you do it knowingly.

 

Many time some Driver ahead of you go soo slowly that you are left over in middle or jumping the signal at the end, I hope many people must have experience if you are driver...

 

& Fines are soooooooo high that it take your Salary.

 

So like HRA, we employee(offically Driving) should demand a fix Traffic Fine of say 500 Qr per months, if you are not fined it your extra income.

 

Can anyone tell me if Signal Camera also Catches the Speed Limit for that Road? What is allowance of Speed KpH for every Speed Camera of 80-100-120 Kph, do they click at 80-100-120 dot or you have 5-10 Kph buffer( If not then no one can change Lane, if all are driving at same speed near you on the Road)

The guy has very valid point, he's just going about expressing it the wrong way.  The punative level of driving fines and parking fines here in comparison to drivers wages is utterly ludicrous.

 

They are targetted at punishing rich locals who drive fast cars and land cruisers around with little concern for life or property and have to be high or they are meaningless, in the meantime they are wholly unfair to working people.

thats what i am telling them get a transparent sticker stick in on the back glass. and they never ask you for that. you dont need to stick a sticker on car body. i still have asian games sticker and was checked several times and they never objected.

Guys , cool down! You can have those stickers or whatsoever but you should have taken permit to put on something on your car in the first place.

It is just a matter of 20 to 50 QR  riyals for the permit. But i think you should take all that dirts errr i  mean to say, decors of your cars, get it all approve, get your new stimara, then you can apply for the permit of those accessories or whatever you please to put...

Dear Guy, 

Yes driving Safely is 1st priority to all including me, But you just think of Guys who work & drive nearly 40-50% of Work time, he has maximum chance doing wrong & going to have fine...

 

See Fines Figure should be also into some limited, I think Qatar Rents & Traffic fine are Most Highiest in Any World Standard....

 

Making a life Insurance that doesnt mean you try to kill your self, same way asking for Traffic Fine Allowance doesnt mean asking Complete Fine amount from your empolyer & keep increasing fine, It just a added way your empolyer should understand... Condition at Qatar

 

Lastly this Forum Is not All UK/Europe & USA expats, they are already Looting Qatari with Heavy Salary & take alll Allowance in one single Shot ahahahaha

i just got my vehicle inspected yesterday for"istamara" (Road Permit) and it failed legally due to some extra accessories (spoileer, stickers)...

this was news to me that in new traffic laws these are also banned....i dont believe it... i went to traffic liasion officer..he asked me to remove all the extra stuff off my car...he said bring the car as "nafas al wakla"......

 

hey need some "wasta" to clear my car as i spend a quite bit of money on  it and no more accessories allowance....

Folks,

 

I think we are all barking up the wrong tree.

 

The more a company pays you and pamepres you, the more you become dependat upon your salary, benefits, standards of living and so-called "empowerment".

 

If you wanna read how companies exploit your dependance on them, read THE FIRM & THE PELICAN BRIEF by John Grisham.

 

The Smart people dont work for the money or for people....They make others work for them.

 

Read: "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" to understand how companies exploit our dependance on them.

 

So pay your own fines and make sure you build your own house before you become used to the one given by the company.

 

And yes, start your own business, however small, with your skill-set till you are employable and have some value in the market.

 

:-)

 

Cheers !

That's just stupid!

 

You are complaining because cameras take pictures of you when you go over the speed limit....

You should be aware that you should not proceed into the crossing until it is free for you to drive across it is better to wait in front of the traffic lights so as not  to hinder the ongoing traffic this is an ongoing traffic rule.

 

As for speeding better to keep your foot a little lighter on the pedal than get a heavy traffice fine
