The Saudi Traffic Authority recently detailed the circumstances under which the 25% reduction on traffic fines does not apply, as specified in Article 75 of the traffic law.
According to the announcement, the fine reduction is ineligible in the following cases:
If no objection is filed within 30 days of the traffic violation.
If the fine is not paid within the initial 15-day grace period, and no request for an extension is submitted.
If an additional 90-day payment extension is granted but payment is not made within the first 30 days of that period.
The authority also emphasized that using handheld devices while driving is a serious violation of traffic regulations, punishable by fines ranging from 500 to 900 Riyals.
In a separate update, the authority reported a traffic accident in Al-Lith Province, where a truck veered off course and collided with a shop. The incident caused three injuries and extensive property damage. Legal proceedings have already been initiated against the driver.
