Overtaking from right lane
http://dohanews.co/post/31196378405/moi-deploys-plainclothes-officers-to...
Somehow I think they have got their priorities all wrong here.
Pretty much agree with all the comments including; "If overtaking on the right Is to be enforced as an offence then so should hogging the middle and outer lanes when the inside lane Is free and available for a vehicle travelling at their speed"
My favourite comment though; "Are they going to be catching the one's in uniform undertaking and speeding then?"
they feel funny while overtaking beside right line. many have skipped from speed camera during their speed up from right.
Also there are incidents happen while when u drive an old model Hyundai Excent like 2000 or 1999 model . police directly fine u . with out reason . the fine name will be "Loading passengers in a way that cause danger to people and properties"
Objects' shape have nothing do with 'that' !
now KIA making more Better cars with Sexxxxyyy Shape and many Qatari use the Kia..
It does sound far fetched .. I mean , a Kia overtaking ..
good one
Blistering, no Qatari lady will drive a Kia...no way!
the guy in tida having those bxxls got scared so who is better one with or without
lol BG... next you will tell to check if the Tiida guys had balls..
Actually to have, and not use it.... and .... to not have, yet to use it makes a lot of difference... doesnt it?
"The MOI is still working out how to enforce that rule"
It's quite simple really. Deploy police to catch culprits or use CCTV cameras
first confirm man or lady coz u talk abt bxxls
U thnk nyi bdy els wd hv balls 2 do it?
n how u know the lady was Qatari
Today I saw a Aggressive Qatari lady in Kia Sportage 4011** (left out the 2 digits) tailgaiting a Tiida bumper to bumper and then getting ahead and trying to slow down in front of the Tiida.
The Tiida guys were scared out of their lives for sure...lol
There's a difference between "overtaking" from the the right side and shifting to the right lane and proceeding to increase your speed in the same lane thus "overtaking" cars in the middle and left lane :P
if i get any fine dude i will not ask any i will just pay :D
wait till they catch you. Then you will come moaning here about the fine.
For me i always think of my safety when on the road...they can be very angry with me i dont care as long as i will not put my life in jeopardy just to give in to their flashing f----ing headlights. It's ur safety above anything else.. Drive defensively and do not overtake trailer on curve! i almost got hit...hahaha!
i m always Overtaking in from left/right but i think no problems .. many times i Overtake Police car from rightside but nothing Happns..
Definitely we follow rules.
But as u said they don't care
You can, but it's actually reserved for idiots!
& I am an Expat can I ??
The thing is I can not even argue with them - they are not even sure what my violation is...
And never will I tailgate - as my car is small - unlike LC's.
In many cases municipality's road design are having mistakes .. then what the drivers would do ?
Please take other's contributions in count ..
I think they got the idea from the done rider. no road need in this country. I saw some even drive on to footpath when he don't want to stop at the traffic signal or want he want to u-turn. Stop & park on the driveway to buy and eat Shawama in the car. park half car or one wheel on footpath, park head-in at the parallel parking so the rear came out on the driveway.
My sympathy with you.
? may be someone using fake number plate matching yours..
"not leaving enough space between the car and other front vehicles OR to overtaking another car from right side without a good reason..."
time: 0:00AM
(and I swear - I am already sleeping at that time)
Fine: 500.00
Ok Dumb question here what is undertaking?? I dont seem to understand???
█ Applicable for Expats only █
People make mistakes because others create circumstances for them.
Of course I agree that undertaking is illegal but most of us only do it when for example we are in the middle lane, somebody in front of us, normally in a Nissan Sunny or one of those Urvans are driving very slowly but there are a number of Land Cruisers flying down the outside lane.
dohacity, I agree with you.
Actually they have there own free lane.
They should also enforce a law for flashing lights / tailgating, forcing you to immediately moved to right lane even if not safe just to drive them at their own speed.
What about an LC driving at low speed at middle lane while using their mobile phones?
it is completely wrong..but as a counterpoint, i would guess that at least a significant percentage of these overtakes happen when slow stubborn drivers just won't move over from the overtaking lane to let faster cars pass..you need to consider all aspects and not just one
If ur car is landcruiser or range rover u can overtake no fine.
It's against the traffic law, but nobody cares!
