European expat fined QR20,000 for insulting motorist, damaging vehicle

A Doha Criminal Court has fined a European expatriate QR20,000 for insulting a woman motorist and damaging her vehicle.

According to a local Arabic daily, the court convicted the man based on witness testimonies and official reports.

The woman, accompanied by her two-year-old daughter, was heading towards the Katara signals from the Diplomatic Club area one morning when a speeding vehicle, driven by the defendant, appeared from behind.

Unable to find a way past her, he allegedly rammed his vehicle into the woman's car from behind a number of times, causing damage to the latter.

When the two motorists stopped and got out of their cars, the man started abusing her in public. Two British expatriates passing by the area stopped and videotaped the incident. They also testified in court that the defendant had insulted the woman and hit her vehicle on purpose at least thrice, the daily said.

Meanwhile, the woman submitted a request in the court for the defendant to pay her compensation for the damage sustained, amounting to QR500,000. The court said this should be submitted in the civil court.

There are always 2 sides to every story

Was the 2 year old daughter jumping up and down on the front seat with no belt on ?

Was the women driving while using her phone ?

I would guess both, it seems mandatory to drive while on the phone here.

This could have contributed to driving very slowly or even wandering out of her lane, causing the driver of the car behind to blow his mind.

Mitigating circumstances.

What happened to your group -- Humbles, Riyal2Rupee, Quicy etc. MM? Guess they ran away after they got exposed. I don't see them anymore coming to your support like they used to do earlier. But now you have new partner --muad-db. I hope the your relationship remains strong. I don't know Brit, WT or the others you have mentioned and have never met them. I stand by what I write, and they are sensible stuff unlike your dozens of one-line posts many of which are silly and misguides to people seeking advice and help. As for bringing QL to a "verge of shut" Mr MM, just look at all my posts over the past several years. They carry thought and meaning. Even YOU were all praise for my writing style several months back. I have not changed. My thinking has not changed. My style of writing has not changed.

All good and he deserves his lot; but equally the woman is now milking it; 500000 rials for what damage? Mental or the car? Its not the west where people can and do sue for their coffee being too hot so the mental trauma trick won't work here..and if for the car, was she driving a Lamborghini that is now 500000 in repairs? Not my place to judge but yes she is being greedy...

Take note of Britexpat who often turns blind eye to these guys like acchabaccha & Wild Turky .....

Britexpat is the MOST IRRESPONSIBLE QLer at this moment ........... WT & Acchbaccha have been spoiled by him { Britexpat } ........ I may be wrong , but it my observation ............ You may take action on Britexpat, Wild Turkey & Acchabaccha ..........

Road rage has it's roots in the anger. Anger gets fired up with the prejudice ............ A frustrated person is prone to bouts of negative thoughts about himself ..... he needs somebody at the front to release his pent up wasteful negative destructive energy ......... Getting it out on the road is the easiest for them because at home they behave totally opposite ....... .......
