A Doha Criminal Court has fined a motorist QR3,000 for reckless driving and ordered the withdrawal of his licence for a month, local Arabic daily Arrayah reported on Tuesday.

The court also fined a friend of the accused QR5,000 for giving a false testimony.

The main accused had driven his friend's vehicle recklessly and crashed into two parked vehicles, damaging them. He then called his friend, the owner of the vehicle, to help him.

The owner told the investigators that he was driving the car at the time of the accident to protect his friend.

However, he admitted the truth as the investigation progressed. Accordingly, the court convicted both persons.
