The Ministry of the Interior has begun applying the rehabilitation and training program for Traffic Law violators at the state level, under the slogan "Make your driving points-free”, prepared by the Police Follow-up Department at the Directorate General of Security Support.  The program comes in line with the ministerial decree No. 387/2012, which stipulates implementation of the program on the state level.

Partners to participate in this program include the Emirates Driving Company in Abu Dhabi; the Qiyada Driving Company of Ajman and Umm Al Quwain; the Ras Al Khaimah Academy in Ras Al Khaimah; the Sharjah Driving Institute in Sharjah; and the Fujairah National Driving Institute (FNDI) in Fujairah.

Lt. Colonel Suleiman Al Dir’e, Director of Police Follow-up Department emphasized the importance of the program to enhance traffic safety and reduce violations. He pointed out that applying the Traffic Black Points Reduction Program at the state level will reduce the rate of traffic violations and their resulting human and material losses. He noted the importance of achieving traffic safety on roads, as per the higher leadership’s directives, as well as improving traffic behavior, according to the Ministry of Interior’s strategy for traffic safety throughout the country.

Al Dir’e stated: “the program aims to reduce traffic black points before reaching the cumulative limit of 24 points. It is only allowed once a year and only 8 black points are reduced for each course. The program includes drivers whose temporary driving licenses have been withdrawn with a cumulative limit of 24 points in a first precedence; and drivers with permanent driving licenses who have attained their third traffic precedence. It also includes the heavy truck driver involved in a flip-over accident; that run the red light signal or overtake where overtaking is not allowed.

He indicated that the program was determined according to the type of offense. The General Program was designed for minor offenses, such as using mobile phones while driving, or failing to use the seat belt. The Special Program was designed for major violations, such as jumping the red light signal and driving recklessly; while the Heavy Program was designed for truck drivers.

Al Dir’e noted that the program is an opportunity to promote traffic safety levels for violators, and reduce recurrence of traffic violations. Participants who join the program receive lectures on traffic culture respect, safe driving behaviors and defensive driving. They also receive practical lessons on means of implementing traffic rules, keeping a safe distance between vehicles and controlling the vehicle.

Traffic violators can post their inquiries and register in the program by visiting the Traffic and Patrols Directorates all over the state, and accredited Traffic Institutes.
