check the MOI traffic violations website with your number plate.
was making a u-turn on yellow when the stupid driver in front of me decided to stop pretty sure i had passed the while line but it turned red while i was u-turning any chance of getting fined?
QR 6000... big yah???? don't know why like this in qatar... we've been from many places but it is only here that we encounter like this
anyway thank you for the nice message... hopefully it won't happen to you also... anyway i am not asking money from you i have the money to pay but it is just that i am trying to ask the opinion of others coz we're jas new here in qatar...

but why it is happened to us... really i am sure it still in a green light but we are in the center already when the traffic light turned red but then the camera still activated...
electronics do malfunction from time to time, and if people don't bother to report it, they won't be fixed. Hopefully enough people will have reported it and the authorities will have taken notice and your fine can be dismissed. Not saying that will happen, but it is worth it to make the trip and look into it.
thank you for the advice... i will try to talk to authorities in madinat khalifa, i hope they can reconsider the situation... even if they just lower the fines many also are complaining in that traffic lights in old airport many are being caught by it
...seen one in Ramada junction. So better step on the brake when you see green lights flashing.
If you have crossed the zebra cross before the light turned red (no matter if it is yellow also), the camera will never be activated...

i was typing in a long reply than realized i might be hijacking your topic so i'll create a new thread for what i was writing.
I hope you can convince the authorities at madinat khalifa to reconsider. Though i highly doubt that can happen.
all the best in any case.
hi jamjog,
well the traffic law is that if you crossed the traffic light before getting red (while traffic lights flashes) you are not mistaken, just after getting red if you crossed if you crossed lights then you will be mistaken, if you got a fine on internet then you have to check with madinat khalifa traffic police.
