Traffic jam
Hi,
today evening,when i was passing through Shamal highway road,near Naeja intersection,there was a huge traffic jam.After 5 mins of traffic jam,i reached traffic signal,i was second in line on the right track,when signal green,we goes through intersection then suddenly,there is no movement in traffic flows and we were in the middle of the intersection.all car on the interscetion blocking the other ways as there is traffic jam from naeja traffic roundabout to sanayia rounda about.then,when i wsa near to reach the intersection other side,suddenly One Qatari senior citezen came and noted down cars number ,i rush to him and asked that why are you noting down,i told him that there is traffic jam was there,he replied that i did wantedly.
Why he cant see others car behind me,may be he noted that also.I convinced him anyway.
My question is what if he complain police,will get chance to explain.
If not what will be the fine.
Thanks..
I have no authority to tell you anything. I've been in your shoes and NOT entered the roundabout if it wasn't clear. You may be able to talk your way around someone at the police station if you get the right person on the right day.
However, I am a white, middleaged western woman. And when confronted by the angry people behind me, I am quite comfortable putting my vehicle in park, taking my phone and taking a picture of their number plate. They stop honking at that point.
Unfortunately, gender and ethnicity play a big part in my comfort level in doing this which may not be the same for you.
However, any rear end damage to your vehicle is their fault. Just try to do the right thing for you, it isn't easy but until more people do the right thing - bullies will continue to get away with their bullying. Good luck
Well there was a truck that got flipped in the traffic light roundabout today that's why there was traffic jam , so everyone went crazy and cheating , its ok when these happen and people get desperate to dodge the traffic :)
@marry catherine,
thanks for your reply.I din't entered intersection wantedly.when there is traffic flow i follow the flow,when it stopped.How can someone go back ,as others cars behind me.
pls tell me,is there nothing to worry as he noted my number and told i jumped from signal but he was wrong i was on 2nd in line from singal but i conivinced him.
In the real world, you can receive a fine for blocking an intersection. IE if it is not clear for you to enter, you stay at the light/corner etc. HOwever, here, you will be honked at fists shaken etc.
Here in Qatar, you will not be likely to receive a fine. because of the latter, not because of any laws.
