Get 4 Black Points Removed from Your UAE License
UAE motorists can now register for the annual ‘Day Without Accidents’ campaign, which offers eligible drivers the chance to have four black points removed from their driving record. The Ministry of Interior‘s initiative, organized by the Federal Traffic Council in coordination with police forces across the UAE, aims to promote safer driving practices, particularly around schools.
Registration for the campaign opens on August 17, 2026, through a link published on the Ministry of Interior’s official social media account, @MOIUAE. Motorists can scan the QR code on the campaign’s Instagram post and log in using UAE Pass. To participate, drivers must agree to the campaign’s safety commitments, sign the campaign pledge, and drive safely while avoiding traffic violations. After clicking “I agree”, participants will receive a certificate of participation by email.
The campaign’s safety commitments include maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles, giving way to pedestrians, wearing a seat belt, following speed limits, avoiding distracted driving and mobile-phone use, giving priority to emergency vehicles, staying within designated lanes, and ensuring the vehicle is roadworthy before driving. Drivers who meet the campaign’s conditions can have four black points cancelled from their record.
The ‘Day Without Accidents’ campaign will take place on August 31, coinciding with the start of the new school year, when traffic is expected to increase around schools and residential areas. Motorists are being urged to drive patiently, follow speed limits, and pay particular attention to children, pedestrians, school buses, and other road users. The wider aim is to encourage drivers to adopt the safety practices promoted by the campaign throughout the year, rather than only on August 31.
Black points are penalties added to a driver’s licence for certain traffic violations. While some offences may result in a fine only, more serious violations can lead to black points being added to a motorist’s record. A driver can accumulate between four and 24 black points. If a motorist commits another violation after reaching 24 points, the case can be referred to the UAE courts, where the driving licence may be confiscated or suspended.
For drivers who already have black points, the Day Without Accidents campaign provides an opportunity to remove four points by participating and meeting the initiative’s requirements. According to UAE traffic regulations, certain violations carry a penalty of four black points, including heavy vehicle prohibited entry, failure to abide by loading or unloading regulations, driving against traffic, and using a handheld mobile phone while driving.

- Register for the campaign through the Ministry of Interior’s official social media account, @MOIUAE, starting from August 17, 2026.
- Scan the QR code on the campaign’s Instagram post and log in using UAE Pass.
