Ras Al Khaimah police extend grace period for discounted traffic fines

Ras Al Khaimah: The Traffic Department here announced on Thursday that motorists will be given extra time to pay discounted traffic fines for accumulated traffic violations during the year 2019 and earlier.

Ras Al Khaimah police has decided to extend the grace period for discounted traffic fines till October 10, said Major General Ali Abdullah bin Alwan Al Nuaimi, Commander-in-Chief of Ras Al Khaimah Police.

Smart pay options
