Dubai traffic rules!


undyinglove If you cross red light in sharjah ..how much do you get fined?? do they jail u for red light crossin ..and if the camera flashes????
Liban Dunno about Sharjah, but here is a pointless fact; in Saudi you are jailed for 30 days and then deported.... :oops: undyinglove In kuwait u get jailed for 30 days....if not then fined around 50 kd .. what about in dubai or sharjah ????? Liban Dubai there is a fine. I beleive they remove 6 points and charge you 1500 AED. No jail. Though I may be mistaken. Sharjah, no clue. undyinglove what you mean by removing 6 points ??? what if the car was taken out on rental...and if the camera flashes ????? is it a problem 4 u???? Chocoholic The Dubai police announced a while ago, that they would start to jail red light jumpers for 30 days, but many thought this would be too harsh. It used to be 500Dhs fine and 5 points on your licence (for traffic violations they add points to your licence, if you rack up a certain amount, your licence is revoked and you can no longer drive). But the fine is alot more now. If the camera flashed, you might have been speeding too, which would also incur another fine. GAB The rumour I heard was your car gets impounded! Can't possibly be true as I hear and see cars going up the road through red light cameras and speed cameras at mach 9- same cars again and again! arniegang You need to slow up Gab :lol: :lol: GAB Hardy haha Arnie!! :lol: :lol: I've had a crap week and need some levity!! Where has all the fun gone?? :( kanelli If you are speeding with a rental car the traffic fine goes onto the bill and must be paid when you return the car. (Yes, speaking from experience :oops: )

Take it offline guys!! GAB Grumpy!! :lol: Got to work anyway!! :) undyinglove Talkin about my story .. i was drivin rental car 2 days back in sharjah near by mega mall . i mistakenly crossed the red light , now im worried whether ill be fined . i heard theres some site where u can find out whether u have got fined or not because im not sure if the camera really flashed as it was in the afternoon and sometimes luckily they have put on camera's that doesnt really work at many places ?? Does any of you know the site where u can check ur fines ?? arniegang try looking here :lol: :lol: arniegang How dare they interupt the arnie n gab thread :lol: :lol: GAB Actually you can find out on line. Thus ask the rental company who would be able to produce a hard copy for you. Cheers!! :) Chocoholic Sadly the online facility of the Dubai Traffic Department is very temperamental. I got a parking fine 3 weeks ago and it still doesn't show up. GAB On the parking fine bit-don't read the info on the back and take it for fact. I went into Emirates bank to pay my fine (note:vallet parking IS cheaper!!) as per instructions on the back and you cannot pay them there "anymore" was the response after they all had a laugh at my expense-quite funny actually! Anyway, the staff were very helpful there and told me you can pay in Union Coop upstairs, on Al Wasl Road. Anyway, Choco-maybe go there and ask them to check for you?? XRW-147

Frankly, and nothing personal, I hope you do get fined. Maybe you will pay more attention on the roads next time cause you very well could have 'mistakenly' run over a pedestrian or caused a nasty accident. XRW-147
Chocco, I find the Dubai Police site gets updated sooner than the Municipality site. That said if you pay your fine through the Municipality site I suggest printing out the confirmation even though it says it takes only 24 hours to reflect on the Dubai Police database. I paid my first parking fine in September last year on the DM. site and its still showing on the DP's site. Been told that I need to bring either the confirmation or some proof I've paid DM otherwise I will need to pay it again when I renew my registration. Chocoholic Well I think they're darn cheeky! Last time I got a fine, I paid it at the Municipality, but when I asked a car rental firm to re-register my car, the police department didn't have it registered as paid, so I got charged for the same fine - twice! I can't be arsed with hassle of trying to get a refund as I know it'll be a complete nightmare. kjames73
I must confess, i ride a motorbike, so i don't have a great deal of sympathy for people jumping red lights... so if the fine is large, that ok by me.

Choco, you just illustrated my point with your actual experience. The DP told me its better off to pay directly on their site rather than the DM site, cause you register your car with them so it only matters if they have the record as paid. Chocoholic Well the darn Police site still isn't showing my fine so I paid it through one of the links you posted. undyinglove Im fuckin sure im fined..while i mistakenly crossed the red light in sharjah...but it hasnt shown up on the dubai police site... why is that?? some say maybe theres camera there but it doesnt seem to be workin.. ..so what shall i do ?? although it was rental car... peace!! esthers dubai drivers is much more disciplened than any other i cant drive in all my speed at the same time coz im going to feel the flash...huhuhuhu what about offroad driving, rules? Liban There are rules that regulate driving in Dubai???!!!!! Since when??!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: XRW-147
If you're stupid enough to mistakenly cross a red light then you're probably not checking the site properly. esthers so better check the site and rules first before goin further
