Understanding Saudi Traffic Fines and Black Points

The Saudi traffic fine system (Saher) uses a combination of financial penalties and black points to enforce road safety: 1. Black Points System: Each traffic violation carries a certain number of black points (النقاط السوداء). Accumulating 24 points within 12 months results in license suspension for 30 days. At 36 points, suspension extends to 60 days, and at 48 points, 90 days. 2. Fine Ranges: Most violations have a fine range rather than a fixed amount. The actual fine depends on the officer's discretion, severity, and circumstances of the violation. 3. Vehicle Impoundment: Serious violations such as street racing, driving without a license, running red lights, and excessive speeding can result in vehicle impoundment for up to 15-30 days. 4. Payment Methods: Fines can be paid through Absher, Tawakkalna, SADAD (via bank), or at traffic departments. Unpaid fines can block vehicle registration renewal and license renewal. 5. Fine Discounts: Periodic amnesties (e.g., during National Day) may offer discounts on outstanding fines. Check Absher for any active campaigns.
