What about the Traffic Violations suddenly i`ve discovered that i have Traffic Violation for parking with 300 QR and 3 Points ! but how can it be with out let me know !
then i remember that one time i`ve stopped in front of one building very near to AKKAWI in old air port street to buy 2 Falafel sandwich and it was not in the main street cause u know that AKKAWI almost on the corner and by the way i left my wife and my little daughter in the car and it is take not more than 5 min so did any body think that one police car pass near to my car and he simply write the plate num and gave me violation with out any notice or even give me that famous sticker is he taking his salary to write the violations from his car seat under the AC cooling and what about if i deny that who will be the honest one and what if this happened and he did a mistake in the plate number ??! i think it is non sense other wise 40% of drivers in qatar they will choose to sell the cars and work with TAXI specially with that hidden radars they tell us that we did not want u to drive slowly NO we want u to pay some cash i`m not speaking about the people who running like crazy with 140Km in internal street but about the big streets with 80Km limit and every body got bored like a death from the traffic and when the road is clear u can go with only 80Km !! what about ramada signal & qatar decoration ----Villagio Mall to salwa road --- + too much of good streets with speed limit of 50Km and no body follow the instructions at all...

will not be accepted as a defense for breaking the law. Everyone should know that.

AA,

Yes they tend to do that, especially on that exact same road, either with Akkawi, or Beirut on the opposite side :(

Hubby calls this expat taxes. No point arguing unless you can PROVE otherwise. I'm so glad I'm not allowed to drive yet :-)

... and all because you won't walk 100m to where it's OK to park.

so you should pay. 5 mins or not its does not matter. Its like saying I only punched the woman a few times, its not like I gave her a real beating....and she is still alive so I don't see your problem with me....

It seems people getting traffic violations here for doing something they no is wrong and then come on here and complain. Just plane stupid in my opinion.

is correct, I have never seen a parking violation that was not accompanied by the yellow sticker. If it says "loading vehicle" or something similar it is actually a speeding ticket. You can contest them but they will usually prove the violation with a picture. Remember!!! If you drive a truck you must use "private transportation" when looking at tickets otherwise you may be looking at a car with the same plate number, cars are "private vehicles". I have made inquiries on line and they cancelled the ticket because I could prove I was not in that area that day.

Good luck and be safe

It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite

Don't stop your car like that.

i`ve stopped in front of one building very near to AKKAWI in old air port street to buy 2 Falafel sandwich and it was not in the main street cause u know that AKKAWI almost on the corner

Parked on the road in front of a building.

and by the way i left my wife and my little daughter in the car

This doesn't matter.

and it is take not more than 5 min

This doesn't matter.

You still broke the traffic law, so just pay the fine, and don't do any more offenses. The 3 points will be erased if you don't do anything in 12 months.

The violation for 'parking' is, most of the time, actually a violation for speeding.
