Umm Al Quwain police discount road fines

Umm Al Quwain: Umm Al Quwain traffic department announced that motorists are being given a 50 per cent discount on fines for an extended period of time.

The fine discount period has been extended until January 2, 2016, Lieutenant Colonel Saeed Obaid Bin Aran, director of the traffic department at Umm Al Quwain Police said.

The offer started on October 18 and was originally set to end by December 3 after the celebration of UAE National Day, but the department decided to extend the period and give motorists another chance to eliminate their accumulation traffic fines.

Lt Col Bin Aran said the decision to reduce the fines by 50 per cent was made in order to give motorists a chance to renew their registration and pay the accumulated fines.

Lt Col Bin Aran urged all motorists to take advantage of this grace period and renew the registration of their vehicles.

The discount in fines applies to all traffic fines of this year, he added.

Umm Al Quwain police offered a 50 per cent discount on traffic fines last year as well.

The decision also includes owners of vehicles who registered their cars in other emirates, and is applicable to traffic violations committed in the emirate only.

The vehicle owners can pay fees at any service centres registered in the emirate.
