Participated in the accident-free day, successfully? 4 black points would be automatically removed
How to check black points on your UAE driving licence
Dubai: Did you participate in the accident-free day this week? If you did pledge your participation and were able to get through the day without recording any traffic violations or accidents, you would automatically have four black points removed from your traffic file.
So, how can you check how many black points, if any, are remaining on your file? Here is a step-by-step guide on how to check the black points on your driving licence.
What are black points?
Black points, or traffic points, are penalties issued against some traffic violations. While some violations, like driving slightly over the speed limit or parking incorrectly can lead to monetary fines, behaviour that is more dangerous can lead to black points also being imposed. A black point is issued on the driver’s licence. A motorist can get anywhere between four to a maximum of 24 black points. If there is a violation committed after a driver has 24 black points, the case is transferred to the UAE courts, with the licence being confiscated or suspended.
