DOHA: An expatriate woman driver was fined QR5,000 by a lower court after it found her guilty of physically assaulting a male expat motorist.
The court also ordered her licence confiscated and car seized for two months.
She was driving fast and suddenly slowed down since her victim was driving very slowly as traffic was moving at a snail’s pace. The woman kept honking but when the man did not move, she stopped her car, got out in fury, opened his front door and began hitting him.
Other motorists gathered around her to dissuade her from attacking the man, but she refused to listen.
Police arrived and took both to police station. The man filed a complaint and the case was referred to the Prosecution which filed charges against the woman.
