Speeding fines are not the only ones subject to change so read on to see how this affects you.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Lieutenant General Shaikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, officially signed the new regulations. The new regulations are designed to make Dubai roads even safer and will cover various violations with penalties, including fines, black points and even impounding of vehicles. Looks like we all need to get some driving lessons! <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the new rules, drivers who violate the traffic rules will face a fine of up to AED 3000 and their vehicles will be impounded for up to three months. Reckless drivers also beware! They will be faced with AED 2000 fine, 23 black points on their license and impounding of the vehicle for 60 days. The same punishment and fines apply to drivers who endanger the lives of others.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you driving a car without a number plate? Get ready to be fined with AED 3000 and 23 black points on your license. And don\u2019t be surprised if your vehicle is impounded for 90 days.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drivers of heavy vehicles also pay attention! If they drive in a way that endangers the life of others, be ready to be slapped with a fine of AED 3000. That\u2019s not the only punishment they get. Their license will also be suspended for a period of one year.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now we come to the all-important car speeding fines. After all, we have all done it at some point! Now, exceeding the speed limit by 80 km\/h will incur a fine of AED 3000, 23 black points and the vehicle being impounded for 60 days. Cross the speed limit by 60km\/h and you will be fined with AED 2000, your car confiscated for 30 days and 12 black points on your license. So better keep your speeds in check!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drivers caught under the influence of drug or alcohol will be taken to court, their license will be suspended for a year and their vehicle impounded for sixty days. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s not all, folks! There are plenty of <a href=\"http:\/\/65.1.85.58\/newsroom\/car-fines-uae-going-up\/\">other fines and punishments on the new traffic regulations list<\/a>, all designed to improve safety on the roads.
