Common Reasons for Contesting a Violation

• The violation never actually occurred (e.g., being charged for running a red light while committed to it).
• The vehicle owner was not present at the location of the violation at the recorded time.
• Technical errors or malfunctions in the Saaher automated system.
• The vehicle was being driven by someone other than the owner at the time of the incident.
• Emergency or exceptional circumstances (medical or humanitarian) that forced the driver to break a rule.

Possible Committee Decisions

After reviewing the data (which usually takes 7 to 15 business days), the committee may issue one of the following:

• Acceptance: The violation is canceled and removed from the driver’s record, with no financial obligation.
• Rejection: The driver must pay the full fine to avoid further penalties.
• Amendment: Modifying the violation data if a partial error is proven.
• Judicial Referral: Transferring the case to competent judicial authorities for a final ruling.

Tips to be observed when submitting a traffic violation objection

 Some tips must be observed when submitting an objection request for traffic violations if you are a citizen or a resident:

• A grievance must be submitted in a detailed manner that includes the real reasons behind this grievance.
• If you possess documents, written papers, photos, or videos that support the objection, upload them immediately.
• You must adhere to the specified period for objecting to traffic violations.

Value of some traffic violations in Saudi Arabia

 The value of traffic violations in Saudi Arabia varies according to the type of each violation and its seriousness, where penalties start from simple amounts for light violations and reach high fines for more dangerous violations. For example, recording the exceeding of the specified speed by less than 25 kilometers per hour results in a fine ranging between 300 to 500 Saudi Riyals. While the fine rises to 800 to 1000 Saudi Riyals when exceeding the speed by more than 25 and less than 30 km per hour, and in case of exceeding the speed by more than 30 km per hour, the fine may reach 1200 to 1500 Riyals.

As for violations dangerous to lives, harsher penalties are imposed on them, such as crossing a traffic light or bypassing school transport buses during their stop, where the fine in these cases ranges from 3000 to 6000 Saudi Riyals.

Also, a financial fine ranging from 500 to 900 Riyals is imposed for using a mobile phone while driving a car because of its danger to the road.

As for violations related to personal safety and the traffic system, such as not fastening seatbelts, it is punished with a fine of 150 to 300 Riyals, as well as driving with an expired license.

As for stopping in non-designated places, its penalty ranges from 100 to 150 Riyals, which is the same value set for driving without valid insurance on the car.
