The Ministry of Interior (MOI) has announced a new road safety initiative that provides drivers with an opportunity to clear black points from their driving licenses while promoting safer driving practices across the UAE.
The “Accident-Free Day 2025” campaign, set to take effect on September 15, 2025, allows eligible drivers to have up to four black points removed from their driving records by participating in a community pledge focused on road safety awareness.
Initiative Details and Eligibility
Under the new program, drivers can qualify for black point removal by completing a simple online pledge process through the Ministry of Interior’s official website. The initiative is designed as a community-focused campaign with no legal obligations, emphasizing voluntary participation in promoting road safety.
“This is a community initiative aimed at ensuring the safety of all road users, with no legal liabilities involved,” stated a Ministry spokesperson. The program represents the MOI’s ongoing commitment to reducing traffic accidents and promoting responsible driving behavior throughout the Emirates.
Participants must agree to follow six key safety commitments as part of their pledge:
- Maintaining a safe following distance from other vehicles
- Yielding to pedestrians at designated crossings
- Consistently wearing seatbelts while driving
- Adhering to posted speed limits
- Avoiding handheld mobile phone use while operating a vehicle
- Giving right-of-way to emergency vehicles, police, public service vehicles, and official convoys

Current Black Points System
The UAE’s traffic violation point system currently assigns penalty points for various infractions, with serious violations potentially resulting in license suspension or vehicle impoundment. The new initiative provides relief for drivers who have accumulated minor infractions while encouraging improved driving habits.
Drivers can check their current black point status by logging into the MOI website or mobile application using UAE Pass authentication. This digital verification system ensures secure access to personal driving records and traffic fine information.
Additional Ministry Services
The Ministry also maintains other traffic-related services, including the ability to transfer black points between licenses under specific circumstances. This service requires UAE Pass login authentication and can be accessed through the eServices menu under “Traffic Fines Services.”
For black point transfers, license holders must provide the vehicle owner’s Traffic Code File (TCF) number, also known as the mulkiya number, and complete SMS verification for security purposes.
Road Safety Impact
The initiative comes as part of broader efforts by UAE authorities to improve road safety statistics and reduce traffic-related incidents across the Emirates. By combining penalty relief with educational commitments, the program aims to create lasting behavioral changes among drivers.
Transportation safety experts have praised similar community-based approaches in other jurisdictions, noting that voluntary pledge programs often result in increased awareness and sustained improvement in driving practices.
The Ministry of Interior encourages all citizens and residents to participate in the September 15, 2025 initiative, emphasizing that collective participation will contribute to creating safer roads for all community members.
Program Timeline
The initiative officially launches with the pledge period beginning immediately through the MOI website. All qualifying participants who complete the requirements will see their black point reductions applied on September 15, 2025.
Further information about the “Accident-Free Day 2025” initiative is available through official Ministry of Interior communication channels and the government’s digital platforms.
