    Black Points System

    Dubai operates a black points system alongside financial fines. Accumulating 12 points results in a 30-day driving ban. 24 points trigger a 3-month ban. 24+ points for a second time can result in a permanent licence revocation according to Dubai Traffic Fines 2026 rules. Points reset after 1 year from the date of the violation. Therefore, staying within the limits is crucial to avoid the consequences of Dubai Traffic Fines 2026.

    How to Pay Fines

    Fines can be paid via the Dubai Police app, website, or at any police station. They can also be paid at RTA service centres and select ATMs. Note: outstanding fines must be cleared before your vehicle registration (Mulkiya) can be renewed. A 50% discount on fines is periodically offered during special amnesty periods — watch official channels for these.
