Captain Mohammed Rabia Al Kuwari, officer of the Violations Department at the General Traffic Department, confirmed that automatic monitoring was launched to catch violations of not wearing a seat belt and using a mobile phone, yesterday, Sunday. Captain Al-Kuwari revealed - in statements to Qatar Radio - that the new radars can detect 3 violations at the same time, which are not wearing a seat belt, using a mobile phone, and speeding. He elaborated that the newly installed radar systems are equipped to simultaneously detect three violations across all lanes, potentially leading to the apprehension of the vehicle's driver if they commit more than one infraction. In terms of discounts related to seatbelt and mobile phone violations, Al-Kuwari clarified that a seatbelt violation is eligible for a discount if settled within 30 days. However, the fine for using a mobile phone while driving stands at 500 Qatari riyals and does not qualify for any discounts. He emphasized that this particular violation is highly stressed by traffic regulations due to its impact on road safety and the potential harm it can cause to public property and fellow road users. Al-Kuwari further highlighted that any individual who receives a violation notice can exercise their right to address it either through Metrash 2 or on the Ministry's website. Typically, within one week, a response will be issued through Metrash 2, subject to review by the relevant authorities responsible for overseeing the unified radar system. He underscored the Ministry of Interior's commitment to enhancing traffic safety, emphasizing that adhering to seatbelt usage and refraining from using mobile phones while driving significantly reduces the occurrence of traffic accidents. Al-Kuwari revealed that a substantial percentage, approximately 50 to 60%, of traffic accidents can be attributed to these two specific violations.

The Blue Moon will occur on Aug. 30, 2023, at 9:35 p.m. ET (0135 GMT on Aug 31.) August's "Super Blue Moon" will be the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. There are two types of Blue Moons but unfortunately, neither has anything to do with color. A seasonal Blue Moon is the traditional definition of a Blue Moon and refers to the third full moon in a season that has four full moons according to NASA. Whilst the second definition — borne out of a misunderstanding of the first — is a monthly Blue Moon which refers to the second full moon within a single calendar month. The monthly Blue Moon is nowadays considered the second definition of a Blue Moon rather than a mistake, according to Time and Date. As the cycle of the phases of the moon lasts approximately one month, we typically experience 12 full moons each year. Many cultures have given distinct names to each month's full moon. 12 months, 12 full moons, 12 names. Simple right? Well, not quite. Here's where the Blue Moon comes into the equation. The moon phases actually take 29.5 days to complete which means it takes just 354 days to complete 12 lunar cycles. So every 2.5 years or so a 13th full moon is observed within a calendar year. This 13th full moon doesn't conform to the normal naming scheme and is referred to as the Blue Moon. Contrary to the popular phrase "once in a blue moon", Blue Moons can occur relatively frequently, that is, in astronomical terms. Blue Moons occur once every two to three years, according to NASA. As there are roughly 29.5 days between full moons, February will never experience a monthly Blue Moon as it only has 28 days in a common year and 29 in a leap year. Sometimes February doesn't have a Full Moon at all, this is known as a Black Moon, according to Time and Date. The next monthly Blue Moon is on Aug. 30/31, 2023 according to Time and Date. The next seasonal Blue Moon will take place on Aug. 19/20, 2024.

The remaining areas of the roadway continue to be illuminated with the main-beam headlamps (partial main beam). The already successful safety features continue to remain - Crosswind Assist, which supports the driver in keeping the vehicle on track even in the case of heavy crosswinds and ATTENTION ASSIST, which can detect when drivers start to become drowsy and prompt them to take a break when needed.
