Well if you're so unfortunate as to have overtaken a POLICEMAN from the right, and if the Gods frowned upon you and he actually took your license plates, then you're lookin' at a fine of no less than 1000 riyals. I got fined 500 riyals for making an illegal U-turn. A buddy of mine got a 500 riyals fine for driving too close to the car infront of him. That's the annoying thing with traffic laws here, you never know who's lookin'. It doesn't have to be a police officer who saw you, any Qatari who has contacts in Traffic department and whom you flipped off or messed with on the road will get your number and fine your ass!!
My advice, NEVER be matcho when you see a fancy car next to you, coz you'll pay the piper my friend!!
