Qatar has become an unpleasant place to drive or take a taxi. I heard the police men are on a 10% commission basis now after their 120% raise. My friends have received every ticket you can think of with out any evidence with the exception a police man wrote down your license plate #. If you go dispute it they keep telling you to come back next week. There is no judge or traffic court to dispute the ticket. So your stuck with these astronomical tickets. I've heard of $10k for a signal light turning red. $6k for a yellow light. One guy received a ticket for not driving on top of the curve because he knew his camry would get damaged driving on top of the curve. Minimal price of the tickets are $500.
Taxi's.........I always get ripped off! My friend got charged $150 one way from City Centre to the Souk. I wish the Karma TAXI would put a hidden camera in each car to see what their driver are up too.
