RAK belts out better payment scheme for traffic fines

A special initiative by the Ras Al Khaimah Police for residents who are fined for flaunting traffic rules will come into effect, where in, they be given a 50 per cent discount if the person pays the fine early.

In an initiative themed ‘Radar’ by the RAK Police, drivers will be entitled to a 50 per cent discount on radar-based fines if the amount is paid within 50 days of the violation, an official source said.

“Should the driver pay the fine on the 51st day of being caught by any of the fixed or mobile speed cameras on the roads and highways of the northern emirate, he would be entitled to a smaller discount, of 30 per cent.”

“There is also a time limit to enjoy the 30 per cent discount, which is from the 51st day to the 80th day of being booked.”

Failing to pay the fine before the 81st day means that the erring driver caught by any of the radars here shall be entitled to no discount at all, he underlined. “The move will make drivers more alert and observant to traffic regulations.”

However, only the drivers caught by RAK radars on the emirate’s roads would be eligible for the discount.
