UAE campaign to remove black points

The Federal Traffic Council has introduced a new initiative aimed at improving road safety across the Emirates. Known as the "Accident-Free Day" campaign, it is organized in coordination with various police departments. The timing is strategic, as the event is set for August 31, coinciding with the start of the new school year when traffic density typically spikes. Registration for the program began on Monday, August 17.

Drivers who register and commit to safer driving habits stand to gain a direct benefit. The campaign offers the removal of four black points from their driving licenses. Accumulating black points can lead to fines and license suspension, so this opportunity provides a practical way to mitigate penalties. It encourages residents to be more mindful behind the wheel, especially during busy periods.

Participation is straightforward but requires action from the driver. Individuals must register through a specific link shared by the Ministry of Interior. This link is available on the Ministry’s official social media channels. Alternatively, participants can scan a QR code featured in the campaign’s Instagram posts. Users will need to sign in using their UAE Pass to complete the registration.

This initiative is particularly relevant for expats and long-term residents who navigate UAE roads daily. Traffic laws are strictly enforced here, and black points accumulate quickly for even minor violations. Taking part in this campaign allows drivers to reset their record slightly and demonstrate a commitment to community safety standards.

Make sure to register before the deadline to take advantage of the point removal. For the specific links and full terms, refer to the original publication.
