Are there any fines I cannot pay online?
Yes, there might be cases in which the violation has received black points. Read up on all the 139 traffic violations in the UAE here.
If you have received a black point/s you would need to present your driver’s licence so that the black points can be registered on the licence. While you may need to visit the traffic department in such cases, some emirates have started offering the service online, with users expected to key in their licence details to pay the fine online.
