How To Remove Black Points From Your Dubai Driving License?

The Dubai Police has devised a quirky way to encourage safe driving while allowing you to get rid of those pesky black traffic points. Imagine getting rewarded for just doing what you’re supposed to do—driving safely. Sounds too good to be true? Not this time. Here’s how you can scrub four black points off your driving record and start the academic year on a clean slate.

Accident-Free Day: Your Ticket To A Cleaner Record In Dubai

Let’s face it—no one likes black marks on their driving record. But fear not! The Federal Traffic Council has your back with their ‘Accident-Free Day’ initiative. The concept is simple: keep your driving clean and green on Monday, August 26, 2024, and you’ll see four black traffic points disappear from your record. Think of it as a cleansing ritual but for your driving history.

Why August 26, you ask? This date kicks off the new academic year, a time when the roads are bustling with school buses, parents, and the odd lost tourists. The UAE wants to ensure this busy day remains accident-free, and in turn, they’re offering you the chance to tidy up your driving record.

You’ve Got To Earn This Reward

But wait—there’s a catch. The rules are straightforward:

Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
Always give way to pedestrians (and yes, that includes the ones who take their sweet time crossing).
Buckle up, buttercup.
Stick to the speed limit—no excuses.
Ditch the handheld phone; your Instagram feed can wait.
And don’t forget to let those emergency vehicles, police, and convoys through.

Sign up for the pledge, follow these rules, and voilà! Four black points are gone.

Silent Radars Are Watching

As if that wasn’t enough, Dubai Police plans to roll out ‘silent radars’ across residential neighbourhoods. These stealthy devices won’t flash like the traditional ones, but don’t let that fool you. They’re equipped to catch you if you’re breaking the rules, whether that’s speeding, fiddling with your phone, or skipping the seatbelt. So, even when you think no one’s watching—these radars are.

Getting four black traffic points deducted from your record has never been easier—or more rewarding. All you have to do is drive responsibly for a day, and the UAE authorities will do the rest. So, mark August 26 on your calendar, drive like a saint, and watch those black points vanish. It’s like magic—but better, because this time, it’s legal.
