UAE traffic violations???

Last weekend my wife and drove to Abu Dhabi, and I think I may have gone through a few speed cameras in the UAE. When we drove back to Qatar, I was expecting to be collared at the border but nothing was said.

So my question is this: Have I got away with it or not? I hope the UAE traffic fines are not linked to Qatar MOI? But what if we ever go back to the UAE - will we be fined then? Or what about transiting through Dubai airport?

Looking forward to hearing any help with this.

In Qatar, you get points for speeding when it's excessive (I think 40km/h or more over the speed limit)

no, there no points, points only if your park wrong, without seat belt, cross red light, using mobile while driving. For speeding no (correct me if i am wrong)

People like you should be made to walk the plank.

People like you should be fined double for their attitude, too.

There are point system in UAE and Qatar.....

check the max points (36 in a year and drunk driven) to get Driving license revoke for a year or imprisoned for a year.

And if I went through enough of them, could I be banned from driving?

It will not be in the system to charge it in the border. I got a wrong fine for speeding in Oman (OR 15 converted to QR 150/) to pay in Qatar. I had to get the certificate to prove that my car did not go out of Qatar.

You dont have to wait too long for the fines. U.A.E Govt. will forward the fines to Qatar Traffic Dept. who will charge you back. You will see it within two months time.

Don't afraid If there is any Violation in UAE you should pay the UAE Border before crossing the UAE Border.

UAE Border din't ask you to pay any Camera Violation Thats means there is no Fine.

Wait for couple of years to get these fines transferred to your vehicle!

You need to pay in Qatar.........

I paid Saudi fines, which was actually charged in 2008 ;)

asking for information or just "boasting" that you run through those speed cameras? A "few" means more than one? Here in Qatar, how's your driving habit?

UAE Violations takes like about 2 months to be registered with MOI Qatar. Indeed, its liked, the whole GCC as well.
