Doha, Qatar: As the holy month of Ramadan started on February 18 in Qatar, streets across the country reflect the spirit of reflection and generosity. Yet one recurring concern that resurfaces every year is the excessive speeding during the final hour before iftar.
The Ministry of Interior (MoI) on Thursday warned motorists against overspeeding during this critical period, noting that traffic accidents tend to increase before sunset. In a statement shared on social media, the Ministry urged drivers to remain cautious.
“Do not put your life or the lives of others at risk,” the Ministry stated.
“Avoid excessive speed before iftar. Slowing down enhances safety and helps prevent traffic accidents. Your safety matters to us.”
The Peninsula spoke with several residents about their experiences driving during the pre-Iftar rush.
