The traffic authorities in Abu Dhabi have scrapped the accumulated black points for thousands of motorists as part of the police’s Year of Giving.
The initiative, which gives motorists a chance to clean up their traffic records, has benefited up to 883,000 drivers who were in involved in minor offences registered before July1.
“This step would hopefully motivate violators into changing their behaviour and learning to comply with laws to enhance roads safety”, said Major Suhail Al Qubaisi, Head of Traffic Fines and Vehicle Impoundment Section, Directorate of Traffic and Patrols, Abu Dhabi Police.
"Motorists who committed certain major violations including driving dangerously، exceeding maximum speed limit, jumping a red signal, driving in a way that endangered people's lives, driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs or similar substances, will not have their black point written off ahead of the enforcement of the amended regulations of the Federal Traffic Law No (21) of 1995 and Cabinet Resolutions (177) and (178) of 2017," he explained.
