He is British who has been working and living in Middle East for many years such as Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Saudi before entering Qatar and has Driving License from any part of the Middle East so he doesn't need a wasta! he met Capt. Abdullah when he was in the queue processing the exchange of his license from Saudi, then they chatted. After couple of months driving he don't know there are lots of radar in Qatar within a couple of months he has couple of violations and so he approached him and ask if there's a way to reduced the fine and so he took him to the traffic department fine booth and voila! violations has been reduced to QR300 each! :) It helps to know someone who speaks English so you can explain your scenario! :)
I only had a couple of violations for the first year and never again! ;)
