50% discount on traffic fines to expire this Thursday
The 50% discount on traffic fines that the Ministry of Interior (MoI) offered to motorists will expire on Thursday.
The authorities announced earlier this year that a reduction on traffic fines charged before December 31, 2015 will be given to the citizens and residents of Qatar. The offer is valid until April 7, 2016.
“The deduction is available for all types of traffic fines, including radar recorded violations, bookings by traffic policemen and vehicle impounding,” the ministry said. “This opportunity is given to the public to correct their traffic status and settle all their fines.”
The reduction offer by the authorities was made as the number of violations on the road soared to dramatic levels.
According to gulfnews.com, the number of traffic violations recorded in Qatar exceeded 1.5 million from January to November 2015,
Excessive speed and non-compliance with traffic instructions and regulations regularly topped the list of the violations.
Do you have any pending fines to settle? Hurry up while the reduction lasts!
