Here are some common traffic violations and their potential fines in Qatar:
Leaving the Accident Scene:
If you're involved in an accident and you leave the scene without reporting it to the authorities, it's considered a serious offense. The fine for leaving the accident scene can be substantial, and it might also involve legal consequences.
Using a Mobile Phone While Driving:
Using a mobile phone without a hands-free system while driving is generally prohibited in many places, including Qatar. If caught, you could face fines and penalties. The fine for using a mobile phone while driving can vary depending on the jurisdiction and local regulations.
Putting a Child in the Front Seat:
In many countries, there are regulations about child safety while driving. Children are often required to be secured in appropriate child seats or boosters, and it's typically recommended to place them in the back seat due to airbag risks. Putting a child in the front seat when not meeting the appropriate safety requirements can lead to fines and potential legal consequences.
Please be aware that the specific fines and penalties can change over time based on updates to local laws and regulations. For the most accurate and current information, I recommend checking with Qatar's traffic authorities or relevant government websites. Keep in mind that road safety is crucial, and following traffic rules not only prevents fines but also helps ensure your safety and the safety of others on the road.
