People can renew their car registration and make all traffic transactions without paying their fines. Later the amount will be deducted from their account for good conduct.

The initiative, termed "Settle Your Traffic Fines", came as a directive from His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, as part of the overall drive towards increasing customer satisfaction and happiness levels in the UAE and in line with the Year of Tolerance initiative.
