In Dubai, traffic violations are penalized with fines, imposition of black points, confiscation of vehicles, suspension of driving license or cancellation of the same. If the traffic fines include black points or any other serious traffic offences, you may have such black points attached to your driving license.
When renting a car, you must have provided the details of your driving license. Further, if required as per the terms and conditions of the rental car company, they might have requested you the details of the people who would be driving the rental car other than you. In case, if you have not provided the name of your colleague apart from yours, the rental car company may also impose fine on you for violating the terms of rental.
Furthermore, the Ministerial Resolution No. (178) of 2017, related to Rules and Procedures of Traffic Control, states the nature of traffic violations, relevant fines, black points, vehicle retention, and suspension of driving licenses.
Therefore, as you are not aware of the nature of traffic fines, you may initially contact the car rental company to understand the nature of the fines, or you may also contact the Dubai Police or Road and Transport Authority of Dubai if the aforementioned traffic fines are on your driving license and if the black points are attached to your driving license whether the same may be transferred to the driving license of your colleague if you provide the details of your colleague who was driving the car at the time fines were levied.
Applicable Law: Ministerial Resolution No. (178) of 2017, which is related to Rules and Procedures of Traffic Control, provides for the nature of traffic violations, relevant fines, black points, vehicle retention, and suspension of driving licenses.
