Dubai Traffic Fines, Black Points, and more

The Dubai Police and Road and Transport Authority (RTA) impose traffic fines to ensure road safety guidelines are followed. Dubai traffic fines are known for how much they can amount to although these are considered as a means to encourage safer driving practices and reduce accidents.

Here's a detailed list of Dubai traffic violations, fines, black points, and vehicle confiscation periods:

1. Speeding Violations

   Dubai's roads are home to some of the finest cars in the world, and while high speeds can be tempting, they come with serious consequences. Speeding fines can go up to AED 3,000, with additional penalties like 23 black points and vehicle impoundment for 30 days for light vehicles.

   
   
2. Leaving the Accident Scene

   It is mandatory to stop and address any accident you are involved in, whether through assisting the injured or notifying authorities. Failing to do so can result in fines of AED 500 for light vehicles and AED 1,000 for heavy vehicles.

   
   
3. Driving Without a Valid Registration

   Ensure that your vehicle registration is always valid. Driving without one can lead to a fine of AED 500, four black points, and vehicle impoundment for 17 days.

   
   
4. Running a Red Light

   Jumping a red light can be a costly mistake, particularly for heavy vehicle drivers who face a fine of AED 3,000 and a year-long license suspension. Light vehicle drivers may incur AED 1,000 in fines, 12 black points, and vehicle impoundment for 30 days.

   
   
5. Unauthorized Vehicle Modifications

   Modifying your vehicle's engine without proper authorization can lead to a fine of AED 1,000, 12 black points, and impoundment for 12 months.

   
   
6. Mobile Phone Usage While Driving

   Using a mobile phone while driving attracts a fine of AED 800 and four black points. Avoid distractions to stay safe and fine-free.
