Dubai Police has introduced a creative way to promote safe driving and help you clear black traffic points from your record. Imagine being rewarded for doing what you’re supposed to do—driving safely.
Sound too good to be true? Not this time. Here’s how you can wipe four black points off your driving record and start the academic year with a clean slate.
Accident-Free Day: Your Chance to Clean Up Your Driving Record
No one likes having black marks on their driving record, but the Federal Traffic Council has introduced the ‘Accident-Free Day’ initiative to help.
The concept is simple: drive safely on Monday, August 26, 2024, and four black traffic points will be removed from your record. Think of it as a cleansing ritual for your driving history.
Why August 26? This date marks the start of the new academic year, a time when the roads are busy with school buses, parents, and even lost tourists. The UAE aims to ensure this hectic day remains accident-free and, in return, offers you the chance to improve your driving record.
Follow the Rules and Earn Your Reward
But there’s a catch—you need to earn this reward. The rules are clear:
- Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
- Always give way to pedestrians.
- Buckle up.
- Stick to the speed limit.
- Avoid using handheld phones while driving.
- Make way for emergency vehicles, police, and convoys.
Sign up for the pledge, follow these rules, and you’ll see four black points vanish from your record.
Silent Radars Are Watching
As part of the initiative, Dubai Police will deploy ‘silent radars’ across residential neighborhoods. These radars don’t flash like traditional ones, but they’re equipped to catch rule-breakers, whether it’s speeding, using a phone, or not wearing a 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. Drive responsibly on August 26, and watch those points disappear like magic—but better, because it’s completely legal.
