There was a forum posted in here QL, where the poster was telling his story as he was in emergency and took the by pass dust path over taking all cars moving slow towards signal while coming back from Industrial area to Doha . Police caught him at that moment and fined him 6000 QR (yes, one zero is not by mistake, its six thousand QR).

The poster was upset and sort of complaining as according to him he was in hurry and never do that regularly, poor guy...

First of all its "a violation" for sure. But i was unaware of fine which is equal to breaking red signal, i am happy with the rule, not with the guy who did only once and that too in emergency.

In Wukair this is daily thing at a roundabout, one day police hid and stopped all cars doing this, ofcource they were fined i guess.

Police is doing good job, but i guess more efforts are still needed to handled "not so complicated" situation, it just straight forward violation and police presence can stop it, till the habit vanishes of cruel drivers.
