brandan Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 New set of RTA fines for all UAE emirates gonna be implemented soon and they seem to be very strict this time with heavy monetary fines, impounding vehicles and black points. All passengers seat belt is mandatory or fine for 400 dhs - VERY NICE Drunk driving - license bye bye for 1 year - AMAZING Best is reckless driving now 3000 dhs fine with 23 black points and 60 days vehicle impounding. WOW EXCELLENT I can see some great and really thoughtful thinking in authorities head before coming up with such nice penalties for road users here. It's really much needed considering the everyday traffic madness. Good job RTA and Police 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Honestly, I don't think the fines are big enough to be a deterrent but I would love to see them well enforced, especially the seatbelt one. It only takes one person in a car not wearing their seatbelt to kill everyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregBhoy Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Cant wait!!! I am amazed the amount of children I see sitting on parcel shelf....5 in the back seat.....Nannies with Babies on there knee with a seat belt wrapped around both! I have 4 children and the car does not move until they are in and belted up! Stay Safe Greg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I agree, best is the seat belt rule and also they should get a strict rule for maximum people in the car = number of seat belt that car has. Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 My dad always beat it into us when we were kids, wear your seatbelt. And like @GregBhoy he wouldn't drive until we were belted up. When I first got my license, I had to drive my brother everywhere. He would try to show off by not wearing it because my dad wasn't there. We had many long standoffs just sitting in car parks, him refusing to put his belt on and me refusing to drive until he did. Seat belts have saved my life on more than one occasion, twice in rollovers, once in a head on crash, a few times I tried to find a way into fields without using a gate, one time I decided to find out how far a lamp post was buried into the ground, you get the idea. Wear your seatbelt, lambast anyone who doesn't. Re: Drink driving, what was the punishment before? I had always assumed it was a ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef.an Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 This is a great move because the goverment is just thinking of the people. They are doing this kind of stuff in order protect the people from reckless drivers and road violators 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
