Two weeks ago I took the first plum of my life :-(
For parking embarrassing. I plead guilty, I was pressed, there was no place, I like some other cars, I I'm parked on the sidewalk. In Mexico it would have passed easily, but lack of luck I'm not in Mexico ... When I returned an hour later, I had (as do the few other cars) that nice sticker on my windshield.
On returning home I ran on the internet to see how this story would cost me: 300 Riyals and 3 points :-( The 300
riyals (60 Euros so anyway) to the limit I am willing, but 3 points for that!
I waited two days that the offense appears on the website of ME and then of course I could not pay the fine line ... Logic, in which they remove the points?
So I made last week at the Traffic Department. Already
not a place to park, all parking lots were full and as I felt the gag me take a ticket when paying the first, I parked far away. As I got closer the TD there were plenty of guys who asked me in English if I needed help. I refused but moments later I had a doubt about the decision I had to take: in the section "Traffic violation" was the only woman "client" and everything was in Arabic. I understand the need to take a ticket but no cash in sight. I choose a random man and asks him, hoping that mastery of English about how it works and it shows me a desk and explains that this is the first step and they will give me my ticket. So I approached the counter and saw me pretty quickly that if I did not imposed on me a bit more all the men will go before me ... (there was not really a tail, it happened a little all sides). The type of counter
eventually take care of me, between data from the sticker on his computer and tells me: "It's bad parking, 300 Riyals, 3 points. My answer basically "pffff yes I know" and there with a big smile he said "Come on, you pay the 300 Riyals and cancel the 3 points. I could not believe my ears! It gives me a ticket and I am repeating that although the points are canceled, "Yes, yes no problem, and if there is a problem you return to me" .. .
Hem So I rush to the other counter (it was already my turn, it goes very fast) and a fully veiled woman starts talking to me in Arabic. Seeing that I did not understand anything she continued in English and said: "This is 300 Riyals, 3 points." I explained then that the head of the first counter just told me that the points are canceled. It checks and told me that this is the case, the papers wonder if the vehicle is in my name. I answer it is to that of my husband. She then asked me for ID and I sly ;-) I do not give him my license but my card ... I pay resident (CB required), it prints a paper (all in Arabic) and kindly informed me that it just finished. Except on paper in Arabic which I do understand that there are still slab below 300 and 3 (Riyals and points I guess) ...
Now we must come to know whether or not the 3 points were withdrawn and above that: because the person whose license is associated with the vehicle is badly parked Dock ... I searched the internet but no way to check point balances. No information on how to return the damn points. It would appear that they are returned after a year but I do not know if it's a year without offense or merely a year (we can always dream!). What is certain is that the payment has been registered, there is more crime associated with the registration number of my car.
In any case, I can assure you now I park as well, very well.
