Is it worth paying a traffic fine now or later?
I ran an amber (yellow) light within a few days of being here, and do not recall being pinged by the camera. However, I have 2 violations listed against the car (it is a lease car, and registered to the hire company)........... running a red light (7 points and 6000QR) and speeding (500QR). I don't recall speeding, however compared to the red light violation it isn't my main concen.
As the violations are not against my name (yet!!) is there any advantage/disadvantage to waiting until the lease company inform me, probably in 11 months when the car gets re-registered. Do the points stay on my licence indefinitely? I think they do, from how I read the official government web site........ they are only erased after a subsequent ban.......I think!
Thanks
the points will stay for one year.
yeah, just settle the fine during the next registration and share your points with your friend.
the lease company will have problem if u don't settle your penalties on the day of re-registration of the car, points still there for 1 year duration.
Tell them, that at the time you wasn't driving the car - a friend borrowed it to go somewhere.

The points stay on for one year.
