As many as 576 motorists in Abu Dhabi have taken advantage of training courses to reduce their traffic black points during the first half of this year.

These include drivers who had racked up points for traffic offences as well as those whose driving licences had been suspended.

The specialised training programmes are run by Abu Dhabi Police in multiple languages.

They are aimed at re-qualifying drivers and raising awareness of the latest traffic rules and regulations.
