Guys. egrrrrrrrrrrrrr.. was near old university petrol pump and wanted to take a U turn. That U turn the road is closed from the front and open from the side. so that you can only take U turn and not go left or straight. anywaz the light was red and I trying to align my car to that curve crossed the White Line... but didn't jumped the red light.. now I have fine for QAR 6000 + 7 points.. Do anyone have idea how can I contest .. Usually overstepping the white line costs between 500-1000 QAR.. as some1 told me...

My understanding is that, there would be 2 photographs clicked by the camera once a car crosses a stop line (sensor)on a red signal. When comparing the photographs, if the traffic officer finds that you have "continued to proceed" in the second photograph relative to the first photo, you would be charged for "Jumping a red signal".

I guess if you would meet the traffic representatives as other informed QL'ers say, you could vindicate your reasoning for not jumping the signal. Advice: Take an Arabic speaking guy to help you.

Best wishes

My advice is to seek the video of your violation so that you can defend yourself. Go to Madinat Khalifa traffic office for violation and tell them about the situation.

First thing is to go to Madinath Kalifa Police and check for the photo of your violation.

If it is yours you have no option but to pay the big amount of fine. If it is not yours, they will just remove it and khalas your free.

Let's hope for the best then.

you can try your luck by writing an application (typed)in Arabic explaing the situation and better take an arabic speaking guy with you to the traffic department and see an officer with three stars or a crown on his shoulders....

Goto Police to Madinakahlifat in Violation office, then ask for the picture. if that your car. Just pay the fine.
