Dear all,
I unfortunately happened to jump a traffic signal unknowingly.. I took a left turn by mistake on seeing the green signal which was meant for people going straight.. Iam feeling miserable since then...I checked out the website and came to know that i have been fined 6000 QR and lost 7 points ... I was wondering if i could request the authorities concerned to pardon me or atleast reduce the fine, as the mistake was unintentional ...

your experiences and advice in this regard would be highly appreciated...Thanks

Go to the station, speak respectively to the captain and you have a chance of getting it reduced. A friend of mine, attractive lady friend, got her "running a red light" violation reduced to QR 500. It's by luck and apparrantly looks sometimes. Good luck on this.

Try to talk to the Captain on Sunday Morning around 7-8am at Madina Khalifa Traffic Department. They will first see the recorded video. Let them know how and why you crossed red light. 50% chances that they can reduce the amount. Its totally upto them. Just request them once. Otherwise you will have to pay the full fine. I am not saying that it is possible but I am telling you to just try your luck...Remember, whatever the situation was, speak the truth always to them.

No excuse or sorry for mistakes in driving.. you must pay it. How do they know you didn't do it intentionally?? You can't prove.. If you say by mistake... it will affect your license. They may rethink how did you get a license. better pay and forget it asap. the longer delay in payment, the longer worries... best of luck!!

In my opinion you at least convey your request to the authorities, it's your luck whether it will be heard or not.
