An Emirati housewife was on Monday surprised when she found out that her traffic violations amounting to Dh150,000 had been waived as part of the Dubai Police traffic fines discount initiative.

Amira Ismael had accumulated the fines on two cars. She hadn't been able to renew the licence of the two vehicles for more than two years because of the heavy burden of the fines.

The Dubai Police on Monday announced that their traffic fine initiative wherein motorists can get up to a 100 per cent discount is back. The second edition of the initiative began as soon as the first edition ended on February 6 this year.
