[...] so I was just checking moi.gov.kw to see if I have a travel ban and while I was there decided to check on my speeding tickets. I was hoping they had miraculously disappeared but instead I was greeted with a new amount, KD680. [...]

BTW, I love this blog. Done very well….! Now, for the nagging.

I fell on this speeding article and couldn’t believe all the wasta comments. Shinoo? I’ve been drving in Q8 for 20 odd years, never had a speeding ticket. I’ve seen too many crunched up dead people in cars to know
the result of the speeding.

Bottom line is, everyone complains about those big wastas that work against you, but uses them for whenever they need them. Come on now, let’s end the wasta saviour program.

Does anyone know how long does it take MoI to get your tickets up on their website. I jumped a red light in Kuwait City (Mirqab/Sharq) at 80kmph in a 45kmph zone last week. The camera flashed and I have been checking the MoI website every day without any data whatsoever.

[...] on to more pressing matters. Last week there were a few people (Joud, Mark, and Chikapappi) who posted about their traffic violations and how ridicules some of their fines [...]

i got flashed a couple months ago on gulf road, and it scared the hell out of me!! In my part of Canada, we don’t have speed cameras, just cops in police cars or unmarked cars who sit in unmarked speed traps or spot you in traffic. I think that way is WAY more effective than here in kuwait, b/c nothing is more embarassing than sitting on the side of the road with the police car behind you with their lights on and siren going. And there’s no way to get out of a ticket once they issue one… no wasta there!

Whoa man! If I ever have to pay so much fine for speeding, I would dump my car and go KPTC. I hope you find a wasta good enough to minimize your damages but still, as tempting as stepping hard on gas on empty roads is, I hope you give up speeding for the greater good of all.

Like its not good enough, you can check it on the web, you want them to call you up….man I’d freak out if any one from the MOI called me.
I guess they are hoping to pick up people if they get stuck in a checkpoint and they do a check on your numbers.
The SMS service is linked to your license or plate or something…so you can check only your tickets.

Mark:

I just asked my dad who has the SMS service, he says it’s not an immediete notification, it’s an SMS 2-3 months later ‘reminding’ you or your outstanding tickets and their amounts. Just give them your number next time you go and ask for the notifications.

No such system exists?? I would get a letter within a couple days for every violation on my car in the States .. from parking to speeding.

Okay I’m trying to catch up here…

To Mark:
For 50 KD a piece, that means you have been caught speeding at least 13 times. Did you realize that the camera flashed you 13 times in the past?? Or the camera didn’t even flash and just kept record your speeding? Cause if the latter is the case, then my husband and I are completely fucked! Every time we drive on the highway, we always exceed the limit cause we find it safer to drive on the fast lane than in the middle or the far right considering the way people drive here (talk on the cellphone or check sms, keep drifting across the lane, etc)
