How to use

  1. 1

    Tick every violation on your notice. Seatbelt is per person, so tick it once for each unbelted occupant.

  2. 2

    The total fine, black points and the longest single impound period update as you go. Impound days don't stack; the longest one applies.

  3. 3

    Heavy-vehicle red-light jumping carries a one-year licence freeze rather than points, so it shows as a separate badge.

  4. 4

    Treat the result as an estimate. The binding figures are on your traffic file in the Dubai Police or MOI UAE app.

Frequently asked questions

The schedule is federal, set under Federal Decree-Law No. 14 of 2024, so the fine, points and impound period for a given violation are the same whether the notice comes from Dubai Police, Abu Dhabi Police or RTA. What differs by emirate is enforcement, camera density and the discount schemes each police force chooses to run. The figures here are taken from Dubai Police's published table, the only complete copy of the schedule a government site serves as readable text.

Dubai Police's online table lists 'more than 80 km/h' at AED 2,000, 12 points and 30 days, exactly the same as its 'more than 60 km/h' row. Every tier below those two gets stricter as speed rises, and the UAE Government portal's own text and every published explainer since the tiers were introduced put the top band at AED 3,000, 23 points and a 60-day impound. This calculator uses the AED 3,000 figure and flags the discrepancy. If a notice arrives with the lower amount, the notice wins.

Each violation adds its points to the driver's licence, not the car. The schedule itself shows what happens at the ceiling: drivers who don't hand over their licence when the maximum is reached are fined AED 1,000 the first time, AED 2,000 the second and AED 3,000 the third. The gauge on this page tops out at 24, the ceiling police forces have applied for years; the current suspension lengths are set by the traffic law and appear on your traffic file. Points don't sit on the licence forever, and Dubai Police has run schemes that remove points for clean-driving days.

Sometimes, and it depends on the emirate. Abu Dhabi has run an early-payment reduction and Dubai Police announce discount windows around national occasions. None of that is in the federal schedule, so the calculator shows the full amount. The police app shows whether a reduction applies to a specific fine before you pay.

The schedule runs from 7 days (expired registration, no insurance, expired tyres, driving against traffic) through 15 and 30 to 60 days for endangering lives, and 90 days for driving without plates. When several violations are on one notice the longest period applies, not the sum. Leave the car in the pound past the release date and Dubai Police charges AED 50 a day for a light vehicle or AED 100 for a heavy one, capped at AED 3,000.

A truck or bus driver who jumps a red light is fined AED 3,000 and has the driving licence frozen for one year, rather than collecting points. Because it isn't a points penalty, this calculator shows it as a licence-freeze badge instead of adding to the black-point total.

Dubai Police app or website, the MOI UAE app for any emirate, the RTA app for RTA-issued notices, and most UAE bank apps under government payments. You'll need the plate number or traffic file number. Unpaid fines stay attached to the traffic file and generally have to be cleared before the vehicle registration can be renewed.
