UAE traffic: Get a cut of black points in a new police program

 

The Ministry of Interior has declared a traffic penalty reduction across the UAE as part of its recognition campaign, ‘Accident-Free Day’, which is set to take off on August 26.

 

The proposal will see a cut of four black traffic points for motorists who adhere to traffic laws to avoid getting into accidents. They must also sign the traffic pledge provided on the Ministry’s website.

 

This program will be valid for two weeks from August 26. Drivers and parents have been asked to adhere to traffic laws.

 

Coinciding with the new school year, the scheme seeks to safeguard the first day of school without any accidents as students return from their summer holidays and yellow buses hit the Emirates’ active streets.

 

The authority accentuated that the campaign aims to encourage a culture of liable driving by educating drivers on vehicle safety, observing speed limits near schools, and avoiding interferences such as mobile phones.

It also aims to ensure that motorists follow traffic lanes, uphold safe distances, prioritize pedestrians, and give priority to emergency vehicles.
