Q: Hi, I have received a fine amount of AED 500 for the reason that my vehicle broke down on the Al Salam Street near pineapple building on 16-03-2018 (Friday). There was some unknown substance on the road, because of which 4 other vehicles broke down. Police came to the spot and helped us move the vehicles using towing service. On request, they did not provide us with any report of the incident. I was driving a rented car from Shift Car Rentals and they insisted to get a police report, else all the charges of the damage would be on me. Hence on 18-03-2018, I went to request an incident report from the police. The officer did investigate and said he is going to mention that I had hit a substance. I said it is fine and he proceeded with the report. I was never told that I would be fined for this reason. It's not my mistake that there was something on the road which even the police could not find when they had come to help us. I do not know why am I fined for no reason. Kindly assist.

Q: I was looking to seek some legal advice regarding my case. I had a traffic accident that has been referred to the traffic court. No one else was involved or injured just me. My car crashed into a post. I am also fine, my car is not. I was taken to hospital but left of my own accord and went to the police station the next day. There are some other mitigating circumstances but I would rather discuss these privately. Please contact me if you can help. Many thanks.

Q: What should I do if I got involved in a minor traffic accident before Police come to the place? Can I move the car or I should take some pictures before that?

Q: Hi, Late at night, around 1 AM, I was speeding at 163 km/h in an 80 km/h zone in Khalifa City. I received a fine from the police and 23 black points. When I talked to the police, they told me I have to go to the traffic department for this issue. They also mentioned that the traffic department will initiate a case against me, potentially leading to prosecution. Will the case go to court? What charges will I face? What fines am I likely to pay? I heard that the court could also impose jail time for this offense. There was no accident or injury involved.
