The Ras Al Khaimah Police has decided to extend the 30% discount offer on radar fines. This initiative will provide motorists with yet another opportunity to get rid of their pending fines in a comfortable manner by availing a 30% discount. RAK Police announced a 30% discount on radar fines in October 2018, which provided a much-needed relief to motorists who were under serious financial pressure to pay their outstanding fines.
Traffic fines for dangerous traffic violations were increased significantly last year, which has added to the financial worries of motorists on a tight budget. The extended discount offer on radar fines will help reduce the worries of motorists to a large extent as they will now have more time to avail the discount offer to pay their fines.
Details of the Extension in Discount Offer on Radar Fines
According to RAK Police, the move to extend the discount on radar fines is in line with the strategy of Ministry of Interior to ensure adherence to traffic safety rules and regulations. The decision to offer a discount on radar fines was taken on October 7, 2018, in the honor of the Year of Zayed for enhancing the satisfaction and happiness of people.
Previously, it was announced that the discount period will remain valid until November 1, 2018, however, it has now been extended to November 30, 2018. According to RAK Police, the discount offer can only be availed by motorists who have fines issued at least 81 days ago. Motorists can avail the discount offer to pay their radar fines and vehicle confiscation fines.

The Significance of Discount Offer on Radar Fines
The fines for many dangerous traffic violations were increased tremendously last year to discourage motorists from committing these violations. Authorities have also worked tirelessly to improve their traffic monitoring arsenal by installing state-of-the-art monitoring devices across major roads. The scrutiny of traffic offenders has been increased to make them more responsible for their actions.
All these initiatives have been taken to improve the state of road safety in the country, which had deteriorated quite badly before the implementation of new traffic law in 2017. The heftier traffic penalties have increased the financial burden on motorists, however, with regular discount offers and the facility to pay traffic fines in installments, authorities have made it easier for motorists to pay their fines in a stress-free manner.
It is important for motorists to pay their outstanding fines on time, otherwise, it can also lead to confiscation of vehicles involved in serious traffic violations. The discount offer will benefit those motorists the most who have yet to pay their fines for committing dangerous traffic violations such as speeding, illegal vehicle modifications and driving noisy vehicles. These violations have hefty penalties, which can be difficult to pay, particularly for motorists on a tight budget.
Over-speeding is amongst the most frequently committed traffic violations in RAK. The table given below shows the traffic fines for speeding violations according to the recently amended traffic law:
