Dubai Police has announced an initiative offering discounts up to 100 per cent on accumulated traffic fines provided the drivers won’t commit fresh traffic violations from February 6. Here are the ten things you should keep in mind to avail the discount.

If you don’t commit a traffic offence from February 6 for three months: you will get a 25 per cent discount on previous accumulated traffic fines

Dubai Police will keep a record and you can benefit from the discount when renewing the car registration or when you decide to pay your fines.

Parking and Salik fines are not included in the discount.

The discount does not apply to drivers who reside outside the country for more than three consecutive months from the date of the traffic violation.
