The waiver excludes aggravated or severe traffic offences.The program reflects the emirate’s ongoing efforts to encourage positive road behaviour and improve overall traffic safety.
Fines discounts remain in effect
In addition to the traffic points waiver, Sharjah Police confirmed that the long-standing discount system on traffic fines will continue:
- 35% discount for fines paid within 60 days of the violation. This applies not only to the financial penalty but also covers the vehicle impoundment period and associated fees.
- 25% discount for fines paid after 60 days but within one year of the violation. This applies only to the financial penalty, excluding impound fees and periods.
Serious traffic offences and traffic points are not eligible for these discounts, ensuring the focus remains on minor to moderate violations while maintaining road safety standards.
