If you are driving in the UAE, it is important to be aware of various rules and regulations, as well as different fines imposed by Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) for flouting them. To know the entire list of fines, take a look at RTA's website. It has all the details.
Many of the new traffic rules, which came into effect on July 1, relate to child safety in cars, window tinting, speeding, crowding around accident sites, failure to stop at a red signal, jaywalking and failure to wear seat belts.
Dh400 will be fined if parents do not provide car seat belts for children under four. Dh3,000 fine and 24 black points will be slapped on motorists who transport inflammable materials without a licence. Such cars will be confiscated for 60. For transporting people without a licence, the car will be seized for 30 days. 
Motorists failing to halt their vehicles on seeing the stop signs engaged on school buses will be fined Dh1,000 and slapped with 10 black points.
