Ras Al Khaimah: Motorists who have incurred traffic fines in 2011 will be given a 40 per cent discount provided they settle their dues before the end of April 2012, Major General Shaikh Taleb Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, the Director-General of Ras Al Khaimah Police traffic department, announced on Tuesday.

Major General Shaikh Taleb said the decision to grant discounts was intended to mark the UAE National Day. The offer will take effect from January to April 2012, he said.
