UAE: Dh1,000 fine for jumping red light

Motorists who jump red lights at traffic stops and have their cars impounded will need to pay a fee of Dh50,000 to secure their vehicle’s release, Abu Dhabi Police said on Tuesday.

Offenders will be fined Dh1,000 and given 12 black points for the traffic violation.

The vehicle will, however, remain impounded until fees are paid. If the owner doesn’t claim the vehicle within three months, it will be auctioned off, the authority noted on its official social media accounts.
