A new initiative to reduce traffic black points on driving licenses was unveiled by Abu Dhabi Police on Saturday, as part of the authority’s participation in the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX).
ADIHEX 2025 is the region’s largest event celebrating hunting, equestrianism, and heritage while embracing modern innovation. It opened on Saturday, August 30, and will run until September 7 at the ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi.
The police authority in the Capital has taken to X to announce providing the service, calling on the public to also attend traffic workshops and courses at its ADIHEX booth in Hall No. 12.

How to deduct black points?
The newly announced initiative includes two programs:
• Drivers who have accumulated 24 black points can get their licenses back by registering at the booth, paying Dh2400, and attending a rehabilitation course for traffic violators.
• Drivers who accumulated 8 to 23 black points can get 8 points deducted by registering, paying Dh800, and attending the course.
Black points are penalties imposed on motorists for serious traffic violations, with the number of points depending on the severity of the offense. Once a motorist accumulates 24 points within a year, it will result in the suspension of his/her driver’s license.
The UAE Ministry of Interior has recently introduced the ‘A Day Without Accidents’ initiative nationwide on August 25, the start of the new academic year.
As part of the initiative, drivers who submitted a pledge on the official MOI website, and registered no violations recorded on that day, will get four black points deducted from their driving licenses.
