As the UAE prepares for its 54th National Day on December 2, 2025, many motorists in Abu Dhabi are wondering whether the emirate will finally announce a traffic fine discount this year. Abu Dhabi did not offer any discount during National Day 2024, while several other emirates—including Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain—offered 50% reductions.
Because Abu Dhabi skipped last year, many residents strongly expect a discount in 2025, especially with rising demand, community requests, and consistent year-end incentives in other parts of the UAE.
This article explains everything we know so far, what happened last year, what to expect for 2025, and how Abu Dhabi residents can prepare to avail the discount easily.
Did Abu Dhabi Announce Traffic Fine Discounts Last Year?
No.
Abu Dhabi did not announce any National Day traffic fine discount in 2024. Only the following emirates offered 50% discounts:
- Ajman
- Umm Al Quwain
- Fujairah
- Ras Al Khaimah
Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi did not participate last year.
However, Abu Dhabi has announced fine discounts in the past, especially during major occasions such as:
- National Day
- New Year
- Police Anniversary campaigns
- Special road safety initiatives
This is why many residents believe 2025 may bring a positive surprise.
Will Abu Dhabi Announce Fine Discounts for National Day 2025?
Official announcements are not yet released, but based on previous years’ patterns and public expectations, there is a strong chance Abu Dhabi will announce:
✔ 50% traffic fine discount
✔ Possible more than 50% depending on the initiative
✔ Waivers on vehicle impound fees
✔ Reduction in black points
Abu Dhabi typically issues its big announcements 1 week before National Day, often between 25–30 November.
So it is highly recommended NOT to pay fines early unless necessary.
Why Abu Dhabi Might Offer Discounts in 2025
Several reasons point toward a higher chance of discounts this year:
1. Abu Dhabi missed the 2024 campaign
Skipping two consecutive years is uncommon, especially when other emirates participate.
2. Community demand is high
Abu Dhabi residents frequently request partial reductions during National Day.
3. National Day is a unifying celebration
Many emirates use this period to extend goodwill through discounts.
4. Road safety campaigns
Discounts often serve as an incentive for drivers to settle old penalties and renew vehicle documents.
Expected Discount Rate for 2025
Based on trends:
- 50% → very likely
- 60%–70% → possible (depending on police initiative)
- Full black point cancellation → possible
- Vehicle impound release → could be included
We will only know the confirmed rate once Abu Dhabi Police releases the official circular.

Should You Pay Your Fines Now or Wait?

Pay early only if:
- You need to renew vehicle registration

Otherwise, waiting is the smarter financial decision.
