REDUCE UP TO 8 BLACK POINTS AND REINSTATE SUSPENDED DRIVING LICENSE
Yes, you read it right. Abu Dhabi Police is running a campaign that allows drivers to reduce traffic points or reinstate suspended licenses by attending awareness workshops.
The programme will run from October 20 to November 20, 2025, every day from 4pm to 10pm on the first floor of Mushrif Mall Center, offering residents a convenient opportunity to participate in the courses and workshops.
Under the initiative, drivers can take advantage of 2 main services:
- Reduce up to 8 traffic points for those with fewer than 24 points on their driving licence.
- Reinstate their driving licence for drivers who have accumulated 24 points, by completing the designated educational courses after paying the applicable fees.
To reduce up to 8 points, a fee of 800AED is required, while reinstating a suspended license after accumulating more than 24 points costs 2,400AED.
Authorities have urged all eligible drivers to take part in the programmes, emphasising that such initiatives not only help clear traffic points but also promote road safety and compliance with traffic regulations across the emirate.
How to register :
- Contact the Police Follow-up Department: Call 600566006 for inquiries and to register for the program.
- Visit a physical location: Some initiatives, like the recent one at Mushrif Mall, have a counter for registration. Past programs have also had offices at the Emirates Driving School in Al Musaffah.
Other ways to reduce points :
- “A Day Without Accidents” initiative: (The first day of the new academic year) Drivers who pledge to drive safely on a specific day and record no violations can have up to 4 black points deducted automatically.
- Good Conduct Incentive: Drivers who maintain a clean record for six consecutive months are automatically rewarded with a deduction of 4 black points.
- Transferring points: If a vehicle owner lends their car to someone who commits a violation, the points can be transferred to the actual driver’s license via the TAMM portal.
