Everything You Need To Know About Dubai’s New Traffic Fines:

Dubai introduces new traffic fines as a result of a campaign held by Dubai Police to raise awareness and enhance traffic safety measures.

These new amendments include stricter penalties for releasing vehicles that were impounded, especially those who partook in activities that endangered the lives and property of other citizens.

Activities that are classified as dangerous include races, performing stunts, deliberately jumping red traffic lights, and driving with fake or without license plates.

Any crime committed mentioned above will be presented in front of a specialized committee in the General Department of Traffic before receiving a fine.
