Traffic fine for driving without car insurance

Saudi traffic police impose a fine of SR 150 on drivers who drive a vehicle without valid car insurance in Saudi Arabia.

Hit-and-Run cases

You might have noticed that hit and run cases have been increasing in Saudi Arabia. The major reason for the increase in hit-and-run cases is that the car driver does not have insurance to cover the damage caused to the other party.

With this measure, the traffic police expect that the number of hit-and-run cases would significantly reduce as there is no need to run if your insurance company is going to pay for damages.
