Brits have been issued a fresh travel warning when travelling abroad (Image: Getty) The Foreign Office has issued a new travel alert, directing those jetting off to Qatar for holidaying to be aware of the "very poor" road discipline and high incidence of traffic accidents. The advice particularly concerns UK motorists who might visit the Middle Eastern destination , with its appealing resort cities like Doha. It mentions that vehicles there generally move at alarmingly high speeds and mishaps are not unusual.

Adding to this note of caution, the advisory specifies that anyone involved in any kind of vehicular accident while in Qatar must remain with their vehicle until law enforcement arrives on the scene. The only exemption to this requirement is if no injuries were sustained in the incident - then the vehicle can be relocated to a safer location. The official travel guidance from the Foreign Office regarding Qatar states: "Road discipline is very poor; speeds are high and accidents are common.



If you have an accident, stay with your vehicle until the police arrive and tell you that you can leave." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
