Common questions

The only discount authority found in this corpus — MR 130/1997 art. 190bis, up to 50% off violations "الواردة بالقرار الوزاري رقم (127) لسنة 2008م" — is textually scoped to Ministerial Resolution 127/2008, the instrument MR 178/2017's own art. 16 repeals. It is not derivable that the discount extends to MR 178's schedule, which replaced 127/2008 without art. 190bis being amended to say so.

Federal Decree-Law 14/2024 art. 45 delegates the entire administrative-penalty regime, including its grievance/objection mechanism ("آلية التظلم منها"), to a not-yet-issued Cabinet resolution. No federal fine-appeal deadline exists to state today; the only appeal/grievance rights found in the corpus (decree-law art. 27(5); MR 130's own unnumbered technical-inspection grievance article) are a 10-day right against a vehicle technical-inspection result, decided finally by the Licensing Authority — not against a traffic fine.

No blood-alcohol or breath-alcohol threshold appears anywhere in the four instrument corpora searched for this site. The payload behind these pages carries no such schedule at all, and that omission is deliberate rather than pending: a threshold table would be scaffolding around a number the corpus does not contain.

Alcohol at the wheel is priced on two tracks instead. Administratively, through a schedule row whose fine the annex states as court-determined. Criminally, through the decree-law article that sets a fine range with court discretion and a suspension that escalates by offence count. Neither track produces a single number a calculator could return, which is why this site builds no blood-alcohol tool and does not imply one could exist.

Cabinet Resolution 83/2022 art. 14(1)(د)/(2)(ج) sets a maximum permissible error for the speed-measurement device (3 km/h, or 3% for speeds exceeding 100 km/h) — a metrology/device-accuracy spec, not a driver's tolerance. No instrument in the searched corpus provides for any deduction from a driver's recorded speed before the tariff applies.

Of the 14 annex rows whose impound cell names a vehicle class, 13 (rows 2, 3, 4, 19, 25, 34, 35, 36, 46, 47, 94, plus 45 and 48 — the latter two priced for heavy vehicles on fine and points but the impound cell still reads only "...للمركبة الخفيفة") state a duration for the light vehicle only, with no matched heavy-vehicle impound row anywhere in the 117-row schedule. Rows 1/5/6/7 are the closed exception and are not part of this absence: the annex states explicitly that their heavy-vehicle track is a licence suspension (one year from withdrawal), not a missing impound duration (see the schedule rows for those offences). No provision in MR 178 supplies a default heavy-vehicle impound duration: art. 6 draws no vehicle-class line, art. 7 supplies a release rate (not a default duration per offence), and art. 8 (expired registration) is open-ended and not vehicle-class-keyed.

Art. 190's own text scopes this mechanism to "the table annexed to it" (MR 130's own 1997 annex / Law 21/1995), not explicitly to MR 178's 2017 schedule. Whether it carries over to MR 178's fines is not derivable from this channel.

Whether Decree-Law 14/2024 art. 35's criminal-court suspension (staged 1st/2nd/3rd by offence count) and MR 178 art. 5's administrative one-year hold (keyed to sentence end, no staging of its own) run concurrently, sequentially, or independently for the same drug-offence driver is not derivable from this corpus — both are potentially applicable to the same person.

This row prices the fine as "تقررها المحكمة" (court-determined) — not a number stated in the annex. It is never treated as a zero.

On this site those rows read "court-determined". They are not blanks waiting to be filled in and they are not zero: the annex prices them by referring the amount to a court, and that is the fact the row carries.
