Drivers can pay traffic fines in installments in Dubai provided they have a clean criminal financial record and must pay at least Dh5,000 as a first installment, the emirate’s traffic chief was reported on Wednesday as saying.
The facility benefits only expatriate drivers whose cars are registered in Dubai but it also applies to Emirati drivers even if their vehicles are registered in other emirates, Colonel Saif Al Mazroui told the Arabic language daily Al Bayan.
He said individual drivers must pay a minimum Dh5,000 as first installment and pay the rest over a period of 12 months while companies must pay at least Dh20,000 as a first installments. In case the fines exceed Dh30,000 for individual drivers and Dh250,000 for companies, they can apply for a longer period of payment.
“Drivers having a clear criminal financial record is a pre-requisite to benefit from this facility…drivers also cannot sell or transfer the ownership of their vehicles before completing payment,” he said.
He said that in case drivers default on payment, they will be deprived from this facility for two successive years.
