Dubai: There’s good news for all the motorists who want to re-register their vehicle registration. Now you can do so without paying traffic fines as per the traffic discount initiative launched by Dubai Police earlier this year. It allows individuals to renew their vehicle’s registration automatically regardless of their accumulated fines in any periods of confiscation imposed on vehicles or offenses committed. This news was confirmed by Major General Abdullah Khalifa Al Merri, Chief of Dubai Police.
An additional benefit would be given to all those motorists who wouldn’t commit traffic offences for three months; they would get an additional discount of 25% on selected traffic fines. If the clean slate is maintained for six months, then get a discount of 50%. Continuing the pattern for nine months, then get a 75% discount and those who go a full 12 months without incurring a fine will get 100% off!
Individuals are given the liberty to choose the number of fines they want to clear or they can clear the dues with the passage of time. However, Salik and parking fines are not included in the initiative as they are not classified as traffic offences. Al Merri stated that traffic points and impounded vehicles do count.
This initiative applies only to those individuals who own vehicles and does not apply to vehicles of private companies, rental offices and public or private transport companies.
