Some motorists in the UAE are now eligible for a 50 percent discount on traffic fines.
The new announcement comes after it was announced earlier this week that motorists in Sharjah who pay fines within 60 days of the offence will receive a discount of 35 percent off the original fee.
In a new update, Muhammad Alai, director of the Traffic and Patrols Department at Sharjah Police said that traffic fines will be slashed by half and all impounds and black points for violations before March 31, 2023, will be removed completely.
The early payment offer for Sharjah motorists begins on April 1.
Motorists in Sharjah who wait more than a year to pay traffic fines will be subject to the full sum, without any discount applied.
It is not uncommon for police forces to offer discounts on payment of traffic fines in the UAE. Police in Abu Dhabi, Ajman and Umm Al Quwain all offered discounts of up to 50% in December. Motorists sometimes wait until an offer is made in order to reduce the cost of their traffic violations.
