In a gesture marking the UAE’s 54th National Day, Umm Al Quwain has introduced a 40% discount on traffic fines, effective from December 1, 2025, to January 9, 2026. This initiative, announced by the emirate’s police authority, aims to provide financial relief to motorists while encouraging compliance with traffic regulations. However, the discount excludes serious traffic violations, ensuring that severe infractions remain subject to full penalties. The announcement aligns with the broader festive spirit across the UAE, which includes a two-day public holiday for both public and private sector employees on December 2 and 3. Similar measures are anticipated in other emirates as the nation prepares to celebrate its unity and progress. The move underscores the UAE’s commitment to fostering goodwill and easing burdens on its citizens during significant national events.
