What can I do if I have a criminal case and travel ban against me for a traffic violation?

Greetings,

In the UAE, reckless or distracted driving that endangers others can lead to a criminal case and a travel ban. Since the other driver has filed a police complaint, your next steps are crucial:

Legal Representation: A lawyer can review the case details, communicate with authorities, and explore options for dismissal or settlement.

Possible Resolution: Depending on the evidence, negotiations or a court defense may help reduce penalties or lift the travel ban.

Urgency: Acting quickly is essential to avoid escalated charges or harsher consequences.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. I understand the gravity of your situation involving a traffic incident that has resulted in a criminal case and a travel ban against you.

Based on the information provided, I would like to offer the following professional advice:

1. Legal Representation:

Given the severity of the situation, I strongly recommend engaging a legal professional specializing in traffic-related cases in Dubai. They can provide personalized guidance and represent your interests throughout the legal process.

2. Contesting the Complaint:

You have the right to contest the complaint filed against you. This can be done through the Dubai Police app or website or by visiting the General Directorate of Traffic in Al Barsha.

Your legal representative can assist you in preparing and submitting this complaint effectively.

3. Evidence Gathering:

Collect and preserve any evidence that may support your case. This could include:

- Dashcam footage (if available)

- Witness statements

- Photographs of the incident scene

- Your Google Maps history to corroborate your account of being distracted

4. Travel Ban Appeal:

The travel ban is a critical issue that requires immediate attention. Your legal counsel can guide you through the process of appealing this ban through the appropriate legal channels.

5. Mediation Consideration:

Explore the possibility of resolving the issue through mediation. This could potentially lead to the withdrawal of the complaint and a quicker resolution.

6. Court Proceedings Preparation:

In the event that the matter proceeds to court, your legal representative will help you prepare your defense and guide you through the proceedings.

7. Compliance with Legal Restrictions:

You must adhere to all legal restrictions, including the travel ban until the matter is resolved. Attempting to leave the country could lead to severe legal consequences.

8. Traffic Safety Course:

Consider voluntarily enrolling in a traffic safety course. This proactive step may be viewed favorably by the authorities and demonstrate your commitment to responsible driving.

Please note that time is of the essence in such matters. I urge you to take immediate action to address this situation. If you require further assistance or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Based on the situation you described, here are your key options:

Travel Ban: The travel ban is typically imposed during an ongoing criminal investigation. It will remain in place until the case is resolved.

You can request for it to be lifted, but this requires legal intervention and will depend on the progress of the case.

Legal Representation: It’s crucial to have us as a criminal defense lawyer to help navigate the case, negotiate with the other party (if possible), and mitigate potential penalties.

Negotiation: We can attempt to reach a settlement with the complainant to resolve the matter outside of court, which may reduce or eliminate the case.

Defense: If the case proceeds to court, your lawyer can raise mitigating factors such as momentary distraction and lack of intent, which may reduce the severity of the charges.

Next Steps: I recommend consulting with us as a criminal defense lawyer to begin addressing the case and explore options for lifting the travel ban.

Best regards,

Mohammed Salah
