In Abu Dhabi, you can now pay your traffic fines in yearly instalments. This, however, only holds true if you have received two or more fines.
Abu Dhabi Police described the interest-free instalment service, including how drivers can utilise it and the documentation they would need to supply, in a social media post on Monday, October 31.
It is significant to note that only those using credit cards issued by one of the five banks recognised by the Abu Dhabi Police are eligible for the traffic fine instalment programme.
