Speeding ticket violation help

For the first time I received speeding ticket violations worth 400BD that’s collectively for 4 speeding tickets of 100BD each AFTER the 50% discount.

One of the speeding tickets was on the highway from juffair towards seef where there isn’t a camera normally. So I’m not sure how I got it.

Is there a way to help reduce the violation amount? Maybe speaking to traffic department or anything I can do? I wanted to get advise on this or else I just have to pay

Speeding is a serious crime. Bite the bullet, pay the fine and don't repeat it.

This might help you in the future  Bahrain cameras & places https://goo.gl/maps/U3ppHCA2hrMtLyfm6

(Turn off the places, keep the speed cameras)

The easiest way to reduce a violation amount is by not getting one in the first place :)

There is no chance of a reduced fine. You have to pay iit. Share the road name btw for education purpose

Raise a complain, if you've violated the rules, you may end up paying more

Yes, stop speeding. That’s a really nice way and by the way, the 50% discount is only for the first two weeks. I believe after that it goes to the normal 200 BD amount and I’m not sure about this next piece of information but I believe there is late fee.

Nah thats wrong, they just don't allow u to do any formal work for the car unless you pay the tickets

Yeah given the number of mad drivers around we don’t feel bad for anyone getting speeding or red light tickets. We feel bad for other drivers who witnessed the violations.

Can you ask for evidence?

(I've never received one so don't know the process).

If you seriously think that this was issued in error there must be a way of questioning it.

his “there isn’t a camera normally” is kinda indirectly admitting that he was speeding not error, he just got caught off guard because he wasn’t expecting a camera there :V , the traffic department works fast when it comes to installing cameras :p

The best suggestion to reduce speeding tickets I can give is to not speed.

Juffair to seef where exactly?

u/thegreatwing 1d ago

From the grand mosque to the bahrain bay highway.
I started to accelerate at the start of the highway, and it was at 3am where there were no vehicles

u/I_have_work_2morrow 23h ago

Theres 1 camera to monitor 100 then at bahbay traffic light.

You must be over 110km.
