As part of their newest push to increase road safety and lower accidents, Ajman Police have lately detailed the fines for some of the most frequent motorbike safety offenses in the emirate.
The steps are meant to address careless behavior and raise knowledge among motorcyclists on the need of following traffic rules.
Using recreational vehicles including motorcycles, tricycles, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), and quad bikes on important roads and highways in Ajman has been one of the main violations under focus. Riders caught operating these vehicles on such roadways will be fined Dh3,000 in addition to having their car seized for ninety-days. This action is a part of the Ajman Police's attempts to reduce the risks these kinds of cars create on crowded roadways.
Riding a motorcycle without a current driving license is another major transgression. Anybody detected in this breach will be arrested and a legal action will be started against them. This finesse emphasizes the need of making sure motorcyclists have the required license and have completed the required training to run their machines safely.
Motorcyclists who neglect to don a helmet risk fines of Dh500 in addition to four black points on their driving license. A major safety precaution for motorcyclists, helmet wearing is one of the easiest and most efficient ways to guard riders from head injuries in the case of an accident.
Along with a Dh2,000 fine, reckless riding-including high-speed riding or dangerous maneuvers-will cause 23 black points to be accumulated on the rider's driving record. Apart from this, the motorbike will be taken for sixty days. These hefty fines seek to discourage risky actions that endanger other road users as well as cyclists.
Dubbed 'Traffic Safety for Motorcycle Users,' the newest campaign seeks to increase awareness of motorcycle safety over three months. Lt-Col Rashid Humaid Bin Hindi, the deputy head of the Traffic and Patrols Department of Ajman Police, announced the project Given the increasing number of motorcyclists in the emirate, especially among delivery riders, he underlined the relevance of the campaign. These riders frequently run more danger on crowded roadways, thus safety awareness becomes rather important.
Lt-Col Rashid also advised everyone using the roads-including other drivers-to give safety top priority and follow traffic laws. To avoid mishaps, he underlined the significance of drivers keeping alert and closely observing motorcyclists, particularly while changing lanes. By doing this, he noted, drivers can assist to preserve the life of motorcyclists as well as of themselves.
Apart from the main infractions, the Ajman Police campaign also details various other fines meant to encourage responsible and safe riding practices. Though there is no vehicle seizure, motorcyclists who neglect to keep an appropriate distance from other cars will be fined Dh400 and have four black points on their driving record. Similarly, cyclists who ignore traffic signals and rules will pay a Dh500 fine; black points are not issued in this regard.
Motorcyclists who neglect to give pedestrians at approved crossings top priority will be fined Dh500 and get six black points. These crimes highlight the need of respecting other road users, especially pedestrians, who are most vulnerable under traffic conditions even though they do not entail car seizure.
Riders who neglect to check the route is clear before riding will ultimately pay a Dh400 fine and four black points. Especially when crossing a road from a side street or parking lot, this guideline is meant to stop mishaps brought on by unexpected or sudden motions.
