Dubai Police launch installment plan for traffic fines

Motorists holding ADCB credit cards can now pay off their traffic fines between three and 12 months



Dubai: If you’ve got traffic fines to pay, there’s no need to worry about breaking the budget anymore.


Thanks to Dubai Police’s new installment plan, motorists that hold credit cards from Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank can now pay off their traffic fines over a course of three, six, nine or 12 months – at interest free rates.


The minimum payment for installments start at Dh500.


The new service was launched on Monday following an agreement signed by Dubai Police and ADCB that follows in line with the Dubai Smart City initiative, which promotes increased usage of digital channels such as mobile and online platforms.


All credit card holders have to do is simply download the Dubai Police app or use the police’s website to pay off their fines. Payments can also be made through service centres that can be found at various locations across the city.


Brigadier Humaid Salem Al Suwaidi, acting director of finance at Dubai Police, said the agreement aims to open new channels for motorists and to make them happy customers.


Omran Taimour, Regional Head, Branch Banking at ADCB said, “We are proud at ADCB to be the first Abu Dhabi based bank to sign up with Dubai Police by launching this unique facility that provides our customers with a quick and efficient system of clearing their traffic fines, whilst facilitating payment flexibility and customer convenience.”


Traffic violations recorded in 2015


According to a previous statement issued by Dubai Police, more than 51,000 traffic violations were recorded in 2015 through its new speed monitoring radars.


The traffic violations included 20,780 for jumping red lights; 21,374 for overtaking on the hard shoulder; 6,512 fines for lane violations by heavy vehicles, and 3,009 for drivers disregarding traffic regulations, such as driving heavy trucks in undesignated times.


Up to 109 fines were issued for not buckling seatbelts, 89 for using mobile phones while driving, 19 for failing to fix a license plate in the correct position, and two for failing to install a license plate at all.
