Traffic rules just a click away

By tallg on Mon, 03/12/2007 - 2:05pm

While confusion has been prevailing among motorists over the points and fines system imposed by the Traffic and Patrol Department, the Ministry of Interior is now posting all details on its website www.moi.gov.qa.

The ‘Point System in the Traffic Violations’ link provides information about Traffic Law No 19 of 2007 which was introduced on October 2. The Ministry has stated the points system “will help to ensure safe driving and to reduce traffic-related accidents, deaths and many casualties every year”.

The link marked ‘Violations and its Fine Amounts’ covers the 14 violations which cannot be settled by fines and have to be heard by the concerned court. The site also details the 114 traffic violations that can be covered by fines. Among the violations to be heard in a court of law are violating customs and norms of public morality inside the vehicle or allowing somebody to do so.

The Peninsular reported this today so I assume these MOI web pages are new. Apologies if they're not and this is old news.

lxh2007 said Average cost of living in Qatar ...

I have read a lot of comments from this website and kind of lost. my partner just got a job offer in Doha for about QR 47,000.00 per month plus medical, car and air ticket allowances. we have not accept the offer yet as we try to work out whether it is enough for us to live there comfortably and make some savings. if this is the case, we will make the move, otherwise we are better stay where we are now. can anyone give me some rough ideas. what is the average cost of living in Qatar. we have read through others post and comments on this site for quite a while, but did not get any conclusion. some comments are positive for us but some not. we do not have children. we have quite good life now and wondering is it worth to do it now. all comments are welcome and appreciated.

tallg said You'd be better off posting ...

You'd be better off posting a new topic about this, as it isn't relevant to this post about traffic violations so people may not see it.
