How Abu Dhabi drivers can reduce 8 black points, get licences reinstated

Abu Dhabi authorities announced a service that allows drivers to reduce traffic points, or get their licences reinstated.

Motorists can remove eight black points from their record if they have less than 24 points. Those who have accumulated over 24 points will be able to reinstate their traffic licence, by enrolling in educational courses after paying the fees.

Black points are penalties imposed on motorists for serious traffic violations, with the number of points depending on the severity of the offence. Once a motorist accumulates 24 points within a year, it usually results in the suspension of his/her driver's licence.

Earlier this year, Abu Dhabi authorities had unveiled a similar initiative to reduce traffic points, during the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX).
