It's a surprise, if you have not seen the Police vehicles breaking a lot of traffic laws in Qatar.
Driving over the foot path, overtaking from the wrong side, no seatbelt. Turn on their lights and after passing the traffic jam, back to normal. Speeding, speaking on the mobile without hands free, etc.
All types of vehicles following the police car on the hard right (which is supposed to be for parking vehicles) and getting ahead without a bother that you have been in queue for maybe 45min to an hour.
Man the list can go on and on.
Steve, the best advice I can give is, if you can give way while driving, just do it. They have no qualms about ramming you or suddenly brake infront of you, when you meet with an accident, they will have another vehicle at home that they can use, you will need to spend more to rent.
Swallow your pride and you will be safer (Just ignore them and they will go away - I do that).
