UAE traffic authorities can impose a fine of up to Dh100,000 against people who violate traffic rules, and offenders will also have to carry out community service.
According to Federal Law No. 7 of 2016, offenders of misdemeanors that carry a sentence of no more than six months can be ordered with community service.
The Article 120 of the law stipulates mandatory community service including cleaning streets, beaches, parks and natural sanctuaries, teaching uneducated and illiterate people how to read and write, gardening and maintaining public parks, loading and unloading containers at ports and assisting civil defence teams.
In April 2017, the General Prosecution in Abu Dhabi ordered five Emiratis and a GCC national to perform three months of community service for reckless driving.
The community service will include working as petrol station attendants and cleaning mosques.
