RTA renewal and RTA Fines

[Gaurav]

As we all know that RTA renewal for cars is for 12 months and insurance we get is for 13 months policy to cover the 1 extra month which RTA gives for a grace period. During this grace period, we can fix the failed car or compare the best insurance available in UAE.

I have been driving all my cars during that grace period without any worry, but recently heard some rumor that RTA is issuing a fine if they catch you driving with expired mulkia even in a grace period of the 13th month. RTA fines are ranging from 500 - 1000 Dhs.

Is it true? Has anyone got any fine by cops or scanner for driving a car (not parked) during the grace period....?

As i know its no problem driving during this period but on renewal time RTA will charge you daily from expiry date to renewal date AED 5 or 10 I'm not sure

I also think you can drive safely as far as your insurance is valid

They will fine you automatically if you come in any camera with expired registration in about 2 months or so but please confirm this statement

@Gaurav bhai, i too have been driving the same way for many years now. I renew the insurance and get the car passed and renew the registration in the 13th month and the only extra I pay is the AED 10 or 15 for the expired mulkiya. It is alarming if they are issuing fines in the accepted grace period by the authorities. It raises a question as to why we have to get 13 month insurance if they are going to fine you any ways?
