is there any reason behind this?

is there no way we can check on the veracity of the traffic fines being imposed?
while I appreciate traffic fines should be handed out to people who err I find this increasing habit of fining people for absolute no fault of theirs to be pretty annoying.

last week I received a fine of 700 QR for LOADING A VEHICLE IN A WAY THAT CAUSES DANGER TO PEOPLE AND PROPERTIES.... whats funny is on the day and time mentioned the only load inside my car was me with all doors closed and all windows closed.

what i dont understand is how I could be called a danger for whom? is there some authority whom I can seek clarification on this.

some one please help

You may be new to driving in Qatar. Check over the last 2-3 days and you'd come out with conclusion that you might have oversped along multiple camera surveillance areas like the corniche. The corniche road has two radar based speed detection system along its length. One near the MOI building and another near Al Bidda tower (under construction). Mind your speed particularly at the signals as you might end up with a penalty of QR3000 or more at certain places. Happy driving!

MAY BE THE MOI USED WRONG TRANSLATIO SERVICES WHILE PUTTING AN VIOLATION IN ENLGISH.....

IN CASE YOU CHECK THE REASON IN ARABIC I THINK IT IS MENTIONED PROPERLY WHAT THE VIOLATION WAS!!!

Don't worry, it's just a speeding fine without points on your license. You can contest it if you like but the outcome will be worse!
