Major-General Saif Al Zari Al Shamsi, Commander-in-Chief of the Sharjah Police, on Tuesday announced the decision, following an approval from the Sharjah Executive Council.

"This is a move that is expected to encourage motorists to clear their debts," said Maj-Gen Al Shamsi.
The police will make arrangements to facilitate fine payments in all of its police stations and through other methods, he added.
