Following the constant improvement of road safety and traffic laws across the capital, authorities have now announced a service that allows drivers to reduce black points in Abu Dhabi alongside other benefits.
Motorists can remove eight black points from their record if they have less than 24 points. Those who have accumulated over 24 points will be able to reinstate their traffic licence – for which they’ll have to first pay fees and enrol in educational courses.
How can you get rid of your black points in Abu Dhabi?
Abu Dhabi Police is hosting a series of workshops every night between Monday, October 20 and Thursday, November 20. These are aimed at helping residents remove any black points in Abu Dhabi that they’ve accumulated on their driving licence thus far.
Those who wish to avail themselves of this service can attend the workshops and courses at the Abu Dhabi Police platform on the first floor of Mushrif Mall Centre.
What are black points?
Black points are penalties imposed on motorists for serious traffic violations, with the number of points depending on the severity of the offence. Once a motorist accumulates 24 points within a year, it usually results in the suspension of his/her driver’s licence.
Earlier this year, Abu Dhabi authorities had unveiled a similar initiative to reduce traffic points during the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX).
Drivers across the UAE were also able to get black points removed on Accident Free Day ahead of the start of the new school year.
With road closures and speed limit changes being implemented in different parts of the capital, it’s important for motorists to take note of the news on a daily basis to avoid fines and black points in Abu Dhabi.
