question about traffic violation fine

moshod
By moshod

Unfortunately I was given a ticket and a penalty of QRS.500, the reason..obstruction of way.. this happened on a Thursday night at 1am inside the Ramada parking area, I parked not on the parking slot because non is vacant but at the side of the pavement, other cars were parked there as well so i followed, but we are not blocking the road, we only occupied a little space of it.. now the question is, is there a way to have this penalty reduced as a consideration? first, it is inside the parking area at 1am for crying out loud, and we all know that parking is difficult in Ramada but can't we get a little break or consideration? if I did obstruct in a main road or hi-way I'd understand but in a parking lot? second, i am a customer also.. i really don't understand why the traffic people scour parking areas at 1am.. such a pain

Pay the fine you broke the law. Also you should not be hanging around at 1am picking up Chinese girls for fun in Ramadan

What would the person having already a fine of QR 7000 answer a person who just have QR 500 as a traffic fine. So you cannot avoid fine when you violate traffic. Be happy it is just QR 500 and not QR 7000. Better be careful in future. These fines are all meant for us to exert more caution in future in life. That is all.

But the sad thing is Law is not equal for everyone.

unfortunate situation. every violation by law has its own definition/description. and the officers has to see whether the act is falling within that definition.no matter the time ,day or season violating a law will attract penalities. importantly law is not rational as we humans!.
