Time & Location of Traffic Violation

One of the best options of having an Absher account is that you can check the time and location of a traffic violation.

The procedure is quite easy; just login into Absher account, eServices, Traffic, Traffic Violation Information, and Violation Time. Here you will also see the google map location. Location is normally with 3-5 Km accuracy.

This way, you can also check your violation fine and counts.

Traffic Violation ID & Vehicle Number

Through an Absher account, you can check details about traffic violations information like;

1. Violation Number
2. Vehicle Number Plate
3. Violation Date
4. Violation Value
5. Violation time
6. Paid Violations
7. Unpaid Violations
8. Location of Violations – Google Map with Coordinates

If your company has several drivers and cars, it will be hard to find through only traffic violation ID as all the penalty is against the sponsor ID. In this case, we track the number plate of the violated vehicle, and then we will see who was driving at that particular time and location easily.

We have to follow the above process, and then we need to click on more details in a Traffic violation. The path at Absher will be

1. Login to Absher.sa

After that, you can get the exact location of the violation. This will help you if you have any issues with the number plate’s respective driver being used.

How to Pay Traffic Violation?

I normally get a notification in my bank account of any traffic violation. As I have mentioned that this system is directly connected with your Iqama, so you can pay through any bank or ATM. The process is the same for all banks, like you have to go to Payments, then Sadad, and MOI payments. Here you need to go to traffic violations and pay against the Iqama.

Red Signal Traffic Violation?

Many people are worried about getting an SMS of 3000 SAR (huge loss) for crossing red signals, then what?

Yes, you can go to the nearby Muroor office if you want to appeal. Most people get their issue resolved as they are very cooperative, but you have to pay the fine if it is clearly your mistake.

Regarding staying in jail;

Once you are found guilty, then you must go to nearby Muroor to settle the issue now. It’s up to the office if he let you go as of minor issue. He is very right to put you behind bars ( on day imprisonment ) as per law.

If you don’t visit Muroor and pay the penalty ( you can pay the fine without going to Muroor ), then during Istamara Renewal or at the time of Exit Re-Entry, you may face the issues.

Sometimes you may not pay without visiting the Muroor office as you don’t get any violation number.

You can pay the fine in installments – Visit the Muroor & request them.

Better visit them as soon as possible.

Violation ID without Absher

If you don’t have online access at MOI Absher, you can still ask by calling them at 011-292-8888. Once you dial, select 2 for English & after that, 1 forum traffic fine. This is an automated machine, but you will get your desired traffic violation ID.

Wrap Up

The accident ratio has been decreased drastically in Saudi Arabia, and all credit goes to implementing strict rules & regulations with hefty penalties. But on the other hand, you may have observed that the number of traffic violations decreases exponentially. This is because local police have no leniency to catch the violators.
