Salam All,,,
Last night this is the first time happened with me that i was talking on mobile and was catched by police man while the signal was close/Red.
Infact i was not driving and was waiting for signal to open and meanwhile some one calls me on my mobile and i talk to him just for 40--50 secends and catch by police man and he give me yellow sticker of fine... I was considering that im not driving as i was waiting for signal to open so no fine inthat condition as in my mind the fine condition applies on a person who is driving and using mobile & catch by police...
Anyways anyone can tells what the amount of fine i have to Pay in that case for using mobile in car ....???
(My Fine didnt yet updated in MOI website)

Another thing i need to know is that i know wearing seatbelt is important for driver otherwise he/she will be penalized but is fine condition also applies on a person who is sitting besides with the driver without wearing seatbelt???
Is this necessory for the person sitting besides with the driver to wear seat belt??? (Yea i know important for safety but need to know for fine)
Thankss...

YOU CAN EXPECT 100 TO 6000, ITS DEPENDS ON THE AREA AND THE MOMENT WHERE YOU CAUGHT

I saw a similar incident at Toyota Signal on Friday, when a Qatari Lady (Black Range Rover) talking on the phone while waiting, policeman knocked on the window and she abused him without opening the window and he disappeared.

it will take sometime to update in MOI website. wait till it appears on the web. sometimes, even they give you a sticker they don't update the system. in a such case you don't need to pay. i don't have any idea about the fine for the phone.

seatbelts - YES

Fine Amount is QR 500.

Both the driver & front seat passenger have to wear seat belts as per the law.
