Hi
While renewing Istimara, I was told that I have a 6K QAR pending signal violation fine.
The photograph was given to me for the said violation. I have 3 points to bring out.

1. I was on my annual vacation during this particular period.

2. The plate photograph shows somebody's else number. Except one character, rest all characters match with my number plate. Mine is 5 but in photograph it is 6 but 6 looks like 5 on first glance and that is most probable reason for passing this fine to me.

3. The car model in photograph is not mine, it is some different make where as mine is Honda.

 

How I should proceed? Are there similar instances ? What are the chances of resolution ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Go to traffic department with your instemara. Explain them all this, and show them the car model in Istemara and picture is different. They will understand.

Better to take some Arabic speaking with you who can explain. They always have videos to double check it.

As suggested , go to see the Captain at the Police Station (Old airport Rd / Madinat Khalifa) .. explain your situation .. take some evidence if you have it - air ticket copy / pport .

By the way the correct word is "Whopping" and not "Whooping" which has a totally different meaning.

Approach the Captain at the main Traffic Police department and explain to him everything with the documents you have in hand. He will sort out the matter. I have personally found them to be very helpful, coordinating and understanding people.
