Check your Abu Dhabi traffic fine by plate number through Emirates Vehicle Gate (EVG) at evg.ae — no Emirates ID or login required for a basic search. Select Abu Dhabi as the plate source, enter your plate category and number, and outstanding fines appear instantly. The same check can be done by Emirates ID through TAMM or the MOI UAE app if you don’t have your plate details handy.
Checking Your Fine by Plate Number on EVG
EVG (Emirates Vehicle Gate) is the fastest route since it needs no account, login, or Emirates ID for a basic check.
- Go to evg.ae and select “Pay Traffic Fines”
- Click “Search by Plate Number”
- Choose Abu Dhabi as the plate source
- Select your plate category — Private, Taxi, or Export
- Enter your plate number exactly as it appears on your vehicle
- Complete the captcha verification
- Your outstanding fines display instantly on screen
If you’d rather check by Emirates ID instead of plate number, TAMM and the MOI UAE app both support this — log in with UAE Pass, go to “Traffic Fines Inquiry,” and enter your Emirates ID directly rather than plate details.
Pro tip: Double-check your plate category before submitting — a Private plate entered as Taxi (or vice versa) returns a “no fines found” result even if fines genuinely exist, since the systems search by category-specific plate ranges.
Abu Dhabi’s Zero Speed Buffer — Since 2018, Not New
Speed buffer refers to the margin above the posted limit before a radar triggers a fine — most emirates allow some cushion, Abu Dhabi doesn’t.
Abu Dhabi removed its speed buffer entirely in 2018 — this isn’t a recent change, but it remains the single most common source of unexpected fines for drivers used to Dubai’s 20 km/h buffer. In Abu Dhabi, exceeding the posted limit by even 1 km/h triggers a fine starting at AED 300.
| Speed Over Limit | Fine (AED) | Black Points | Impoundment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–20 km/h | 300 | — | — |
| 21–40 km/h | 700 | 6 | — |
| 41–50 km/h | 1,000 | 12 | 15 days |
| 51–60 km/h | 1,500 | 16 | 30 days |
| 61–80 km/h | 2,000 | 20 | 60 days |
| Over 80 km/h | 3,000 | 23 | 60 days |

The 35% Discount Has Real Exclusions Most Guides Skip
Pay within 60 days of the violation date and Abu Dhabi Police automatically applies a 35% discount — but this doesn’t cover every fine type.
Speeding more than 30 km/h over the limit, red-light violations, and DUI are explicitly excluded from the 35% discount, regardless of how quickly you pay. If your fine falls into one of these three categories, budget for the full amount — the automatic discount simply won’t apply, no matter how promptly you settle it.
Black Points — What Actually Triggers Suspension
Reaching 24 black points within a rolling 12-month period suspends your license — the first suspension runs 3 months, the second 6 months, and a third escalates to 12 months with mandatory retraining and a retest.
A single red-light violation carries 12 points — exactly half the suspension threshold. Combined with one more moderate violation in the same year, that’s enough to lose your license entirely. Points expire individually, 12 months after each violation’s own date, not all at once.
Pro tip: If you’re between 8 and 23 points, an approved educational session plus an AED 800 fee removes 8 points from your record — worth doing proactively rather than waiting until you’re close to the 24-point threshold with no buffer left.
