Abu Dhabi Traffic Fine Discount: Everything You Need To Know In 2025

In an effort to promote safer driving and reduce the financial burden on motorists, the Abu Dhabi Police and Judicial Department have introduced multiple schemes that offer significant discounts on traffic fines. These discounts not only incentivize timely payments but also encourage better compliance with traffic laws across the Emirate. This detailed guide covers everything you need to know, from early payment discounts and judicial reductions to common scams and how to pay your fines the right way.

Types of Abu Dhabi Traffic Fine Discounts

1. Early Payment Discount (Up to 35%)

Earlier in 2025, the Abu Dhabi Police launched the ‘Pay Early, Gain Surely’ initiative to encourage motorists to clear their fines promptly. The structure is simple:

• 35% Discount: Available if the fine is paid within 60 days of the issuance date.
  
• 25% Discount: If you miss the initial 60 days, a 25% discount is available until one year from the date of the violation.

For instance, if a driver receives a fine of AED 1,000 on March 1st and pays it before April 30th, they only pay AED 650. If paid between May 1st and February 28th, the following year, the payment will be AED 750.

However, this discount does not apply to major violations, such as:

• Driving under the influence
• Excessive speeding (over 60 km/h above the limit)
• Causing serious accidents or injuries

These violations are categorized as dangerous and thus excluded from leniency measures. Here’s a detailed list of Abu Dhabi traffic fines.

2. Judicial Department Fine Reduction (Up to 50%)

For those who either miss the early payment window or have accumulated substantial fines, the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) offers a pathway to seek further reductions. This system is aimed at offering flexibility and fairness through a digital and semi-automated process:

How the Judicial Fine Reduction Works:

• Step 1: Generate Violation Report
  Use the TAMM portal to get a summary of all your traffic fines. This step ensures that you have updated information on which fines may be eligible.
• Step 2: Submit a Fine Reduction Request
  Visit the ADJD e-services platform and apply for a reduction. You will need to upload your Emirates ID, violation report, and supporting documents (if any).
• Step 3: Review & Decision
  The system employs AI algorithms to instantly assess your case. In many situations, drivers get a discount approval instantly. If the case is more complex, it may be reviewed manually.
• Step 4: Payment
  If approved, the revised fine amount can be paid via TAMM or the Abu Dhabi Police app.

This process is especially helpful for low-income residents or fleet operators who might otherwise struggle to pay off large penalty amounts.

3. Seasonal and Special Occasion Discounts

Occasionally, the Abu Dhabi Police introduce limited-time full or partial waivers on traffic fines during major public events or national celebrations such as:

• UAE National Day
• Eid Holidays
• Abu Dhabi Police Anniversary

During these campaigns, both old and new fines may qualify for discounts of up to 50% or more, irrespective of the payment timeline. These offers are typically active for 2 to 4 weeks and are widely publicized through government websites and verified social media accounts.

Official Payment Channels

All eligible discounts and fine payments can be accessed through secure, government-authorized platforms:

• Ministry of Interior (MOI)
• TAMM Abu Dhabi
• Abu Dhabi Police App (Available for iOS and Android)

These platforms offer:

• Violation lookup by plate number, Emirates ID, or license
• Auto-application of available discounts
• Safe and encrypted payment gateways

Avoid third-party apps or unknown websites that claim to reduce your fines outside these platforms.

Beware of Fake Traffic Fine Discount Schemes

As the popularity of the discount initiatives has grown, so has the number of fraudulent operators attempting to take advantage of unaware drivers. Common scams include:

• Promises of 90% discounts on social media
• Fake agents asking for personal and vehicle information
• Bogus websites mimicking government portals

Abu Dhabi Police has issued repeated warnings urging residents to report such activities and stick to official channels for any fine-related queries or payments. Learn how to sell your car in Abu Dhabi here.
