In the UAE, traffic laws are enforced with strict penalties to ensure road safety. Fines, black points, and vehicle confiscation are common consequences of traffic violations. However, many drivers face fines they believe are unjust, leading to intricate legal hurdles.
Speeding remains a major issue. Exceeding the speed limit by over 80 km/h incurs a fine of AED 3,000, along with 23 black points and potential vehicle confiscation. Lesser speeding offenses, such as exceeding by 60-80 km/h, result in a fine of AED 2,500 and 12 black points. Minor speeding violations range from AED 300 to AED 1,500.
Traffic signal offenses are equally serious. Running a red light carries a fine of AED 1,500 and 12 black points. Ignoring pedestrian crossings leads to a AED 500 fine and 6 black points. Careless activities like using a mobile phone while driving or not wearing a seatbelt impose fines of AED 800 and AED 400 respectively, each with 4 black points.
Severe violations receive harsher penalties. Reckless driving attracts a fine of AED 2,000 and 23 black points. Driving under the influence is subject to court judgments, potentially resulting in jail time.
