An initiative to encourage safe driving
To mark the start of the new school year on August 25, 2025, the Dubai police are relaunching "Accident-Free Day", a citizen initiative designed to promote road safety. On this day, all motorists are invited to register online and pledge to drive safely for 24 hours. The result is a tangible benefit: the removal of 4 black points from the driver's license for all those who respect the commitment.
A lighter license for responsible driving
Black points, the penalty system in force in the Emirates, can lead to license suspension if the authorized threshold is exceeded. The Accident-Free Day operation therefore offers a rare opportunity to reduce your points balance, simply by adopting exemplary driving behavior. The points will be restored before September 15, 2025, after verification that the conditions have been met.
A symbolic and educational action
Beyond the incentive aspect, this day aims to raise drivers' awareness of the importance of road safety, particularly during the back-to-school period, when traffic increases and vigilance is essential. By linking good behavior with a reward, the authorities hope to instill a culture of responsibility and remind drivers that every gesture counts in reducing road accidents.
An operation open to all residents
All holders of a Dubai-registered driver's license can take part. All you have to do is fill in an online form via the Dubai Police portal, then comply with the safe driving pledge on August 25. No accidents or infringements must be recorded during the day to qualify for the discount. It's a simple gesture that can have an immediate impact on your driving record, while contributing to a collective safety effort.
An intelligent citizen incentive
The "Accident-Free Day" operation is a perfect illustration of the proactive philosophy of the Dubai authorities, combining prevention, education and reward. By offering drivers the opportunity to remove black marks from their licenses, while improving road safety, the emirate is implementing an intelligent strategy that benefits everyone. On August 25, caution becomes a collective responsibility, but also an individual opportunity.
