In celebration of the 53rd UAE National Day, Eid Al Etihad, Umm Al Quwain Police has announced a 50% discount on traffic fines, effective from December 1, 2024, to January 5, 2025. This initiative aims to encourage residents to clear outstanding fines while promoting goodwill during the festive season.
The discount applies to all traffic violations committed in Umm Al Quwain before December 1, 2024, with additional benefits such as canceling vehicle impoundments and traffic black points. However, the offer excludes serious violations.
National Day Discounts: A Tradition of Giving
The announcement aligns with the UAE’s tradition of providing residents with financial relief and exclusive offers during National Day celebrations. The UAE National Day, observed on December 2, marks the unification of the emirates in 1971, a historic milestone that transformed the nation into a global hub of innovation and progress.
The initiative by Umm Al Quwain Police is among several offers designed to spread joy and unity across the country.
Ajman Joins the Celebration
Ajman early announced a 50% traffic fine discount, valid from November 4 to December 15, 2024. Ajman’s offer, like Umm Al Quwain’s, applies to various fines but excludes serious violations.
Residents across the UAE are now eagerly awaiting similar announcements from major emirates, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, which have historically introduced traffic fine discounts during National Day celebrations.
Du Offers FREE 53GB Internet for National Day
Adding to the festive cheer, telecom provider Du has unveiled a special FREE 53GB data offer for UAE National Day 2024. This generous initiative allows users to stay connected and share their National Day experiences with loved ones.
Du’s offer complements other initiatives, emphasizing the spirit of giving that defines the UAE’s National Day celebrations.
