Saudi Arabia has decided to stop all traffic services to drivers who fail to pay their fines within six months, newspapers reported on Friday.
Motorists who pile up traffic fines of at least SR20,000 ($5,400) or who fail to pay their fines within a maximum period of 6 months will be given a one-month grace period to settle their debt to traffic authorities.
“Drivers who fail to pay their fines after the end of the grace period will be referred to court, which will decide to stop all traffic services to them,” a police statement said.
