- A white points system has been implemented by Dubai Police to encourage motorists to follow traffic rules and become safer drivers.
Dubai: As many 10 motorists without traffic fines for 2012 will have a chance to win cars and other prizes as part of Dubai Police's White Points initiative.
Motorists eligible for the draw should have no record of fines, including Salik fines and violations issued from other emirates.
Only motorists with Dubai-issued driving licences and vehicles are eligible for the draw.
Winners will be selected through a draw and will be announced in February 2013, according to Dubai Police.
What is the white points system?
A white points system has been implemented by Dubai Police to encourage motorists to follow traffic rules and become safer drivers. The white points can redeemed in many ways and can even help cancel some fines.
The system was proposed by Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan Tamim, Dubai Police Chief, in order to achieve the highest level of traffic safety and create a safe and accident-free community.
Each eligible person can receive a total of 12 white points a year, one for each month. One white point will be credited at the end of each month. A motorist loses his entitlement to the month’s point on being involved in any kind of accident or committing a violation during that month.
The white points are valid for a year. If one complies with the rules and regulations and earns white points for five consecutive years, one will be eligible to a raffle draw on a vehicle.
