If you are driving in the United Arab Emirates, it is important to be aware of the traffic regulations and possible fines. The UAE has a strict road safety system, and violations can lead to high penalties, black points on your driving record, and in some cases even vehicle confiscation.
Some of the most common violations include:
- Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit can result in fines starting from AED 300 and may increase depending on the speed.
- Using a mobile phone while driving: This is strictly prohibited and can lead to a fine of AED 800 and 4 black points.
- Running a red light: One of the most serious violations. The fine can reach AED 1,000, with 12 black points and vehicle impoundment.
- Driving without a seatbelt: Every passenger must wear a seatbelt. The fine is AED 400 per person.
- Illegal parking: Fines range from AED 200 to AED 1,000 depending on the violation.
