Why Ajman Police Issue Warnings to Motor bike Riders
Reasons behind the introduction of this warning.
This campaign is designed to protect both motorcyclists and other road users. Police data shows that traffic violations, distractions, and poor vehicle condition remain major causes of serious motorcycle accidents in the UAE.
Ajman Police General Headquarters stressed that the drive is not punitive in nature but preventive, focusing on awareness, accountability, and safer riding behaviour across the emirate.
Licensing and registration are non-negotiable.
Licensing is mandatory
Ajman Police have highlighted that many riders are still operating with expired documents or incorrect licence categories, putting themselves at legal and financial risk.
To stay compliant, riders must ensure the following basics are in order:
- Valid motorcycle driving licence
Riders must hold a licence that matches their motorcycle category. - Proper vehicle registration
Motorcycles must be registered and free from expired paperwork. - Updated insurance coverage
Insurance is mandatory and checked during inspections.
Police warned that riding without proper documentation is a traffic offence that can result in fines and penalties.
Strict adherence to traffic laws
Adherence is important
Traffic discipline remains a core focus of the campaign. Ajman Police say even minor violations can lead to life-threatening situations for riders. Motorcyclists are required to follow all traffic regulations, including:
- Observing posted speed limits
Speeding reduces reaction time and increases accident severity. - Obeying traffic signals and road signs
Jumping signals is among the most dangerous violations. - Respecting right-of-way rules
This is especially critical at intersections.
According to police, violations significantly increase the likelihood of severe injuries and fatalities.
Zero tolerance for distractions while riding
Keep focused while driving.
Ajman Police issue warnings to motor bike riders against using mobile phones or handheld devices while riding. Motorcycles require balance, coordination, and constant awareness. Riders are strongly advised to avoid:
- Using mobile phones while riding
Even brief distractions can cause loss of control. - Handling devices at traffic signals
Sudden starts increase collision risks.
Police stressed that distraction sharply reduces reaction time and is a major contributor to motorcycle crashes.

Mandatory roadworthiness checklist
Know the essential points.
Ensuring that motorcycles are mechanically sound is another key pillar of the campaign. Ajman Police urge riders to perform regular technical checks before heading out.
Here are the essential components riders must inspect:
- Braking system
Both front and rear brakes must be fully functional.
- Tire condition
Tires should have proper tread depth and no cracks. - Full lighting system
Headlights, indicators, and rear lights must work perfectly. - Side mirrors
Mirrors should be properly adjusted for full visibility. - Protective gear
Helmets are mandatory, while reflective clothing is strongly encouraged.
Police noted that mechanical defects remain a contributing factor in many traffic incidents.
Safe and predictable riding behaviour
Riders should prefer safe riding.
Ajman Police are also cracking down on reckless manoeuvres that endanger lives. Sudden movements make it difficult for other drivers to anticipate a motorcyclist’s actions.
Riders are advised to avoid:
- Sudden lane swerving
- Weaving through traffic
- Improper crossings or aggressive overtaking
Predictable riding behaviour, police say, significantly reduces collision risks.
Traffic violations and penalties to know
Ajman Police also introduced severe fines.
Ajman Police have reminded riders of the penalties linked to common violations:
- Sudden lane swerving: AED 1,000 fine, 4 black points
- Posing danger to the public: AED 1,000 fine, 12 black points, 30-day impoundment
- Jumping a red light: AED 1,000 fine, 12 black points, 30-day impoundment
- Using a phone while riding: AED 800 fine, 4 black points
- No helmet (rider or passenger): AED 500 fine, 4 black points
