UAE police forces offering 50% discount on traffic fines

UAE police forces offer discounts for early payment of traffic fines

Motorists in parts of the UAE have been offered the chance to get a discount on traffic fines.

Police forces in the UAE frequently run campaigns and promotions offering discounts to motorists who have built up financial penalties.

Police in Umm Al Quwain have joined Ajman and Abu Dhabi in offering discounts of up to 50 per cent of the cost of traffic fines if they are paid promptly

UAE traffic fine discounts

Abu Dhabi Police were the first force to start the recent trend for offering discounts.

Fines can be paid on police websites or via the Ministry of Interior app.

Serious offences are not covered by the discounts and the precise reduction and rules vary from emirate to emirate.

Abu Dhabi traffic fine discounts

Police in Abu Dhabi encourage the early payment of fines. Rather than let fines build up, and  run the risk of financial hardship, a 35 per cent discount is now offered on fines paid within 60 days of issue. Paying anywhere between 60 days and a calendar year will result in a 25 per cent discount.

Abu Dhabi allows offending motorists can pay fines in interest-free instalments to spread the cost. Deferred payments can be made via Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, First Abu Dhabi Bank, Mashreq Bank and Emirates Islamic Bank.

Fines can be paid via the Abu Dhabi police website.

Ajman traffic fine discounts

The discount does not cover traffic offences such as endangering life, jumping red lights and speeding at more than 80kmph above the limit. The discount  is applicable to offences committed before November 11.

Fines can be paid on the Ajman Transport Authority website.

Umm Al Quwain traffic fine discounts

Motorists caught offending in Umm Al Quwain can get a 50 per cent reduction on selected offences if they pay between December 1, 2022 and January 6, 2023.
