Abu Dhabi Police Launches Program to Help Motorists Reduce Black Traffic Points and Reinstate Licences

by

The Abu Dhabi Police has introduced a new initiative through its Police Follow-up and Aftercare Department aimed at helping drivers in the emirate manage traffic-black-point penalties and reinstate their driving licences.

Key Details

  • The programme runs from 20 October to 20 November 2025, operating daily from 4 pm to 10 pm at the Police platform located on the first floor of Mushrif Mall Centre.
  • Two main pathways are available:
    • Drivers with fewer than 24 black points can apply to reduce up to 8 black points by attending the designated educational course and paying the required fee.
    • Drivers whose licences have been suspended for accumulating 24 black points or more can enrol in a course (after paying the fee) to reinstate their licences.

Fees & Conditions

  • The fee for drivers seeking to reduce up to 8 black points is AED 800.
  • The fee for drivers who wish to reinstate a licence after 24 black points is AED 2,400.
  • The courses are available in multiple languages and cover awareness of safe driving practices, traffic law compliance, and behavioural changes targeting repeat violations.

Implications

  • The programme underscores the Abu Dhabi Police’s efforts to promote road safety and responsible driving behaviour, rather than relying solely on punitive measures.
  • For motorists, participation offers an opportunity to improve their driving record, avoid licence suspension, and retain mobility without waiting out suspension periods.
  • Awareness of the system is essential: drivers must ensure that they are eligible, pay the required fee, register for the course, and attend sessions during the specified period.

What Drivers Should Do

  • Check current black-points status via the Abu Dhabi Police app, website, or TAMM portal.
  • Ensure eligibility: fewer than 24 points for point-reduction, or 24+ points for licence-reinstatement.
  • Attend the programme between 4 pm-10 pm at Mushrif Mall Centre during the stated dates.
  • Complete the required educational course after paying the relevant fee.
  • After completion, verify that the black points have been reduced or the licence reinstated accordingly.

This initiative may provide relief to many drivers while contributing to safer roads across the emirate.
