The challan system for violating traffic rules has been automatically introduced with various fines.

On the official Twitter account of the traffic police, a citizen discovered that the process for renewing a driver’s license is not completed through the “Abshar” account, but the message comes that ‘the fee paid is insufficient’ while the fee has been paid. What to do in this case?

Responding to a question, the traffic police said, “The annual renewal fee for driving license is 40 riyals and for delay there is a fine of 100 riyals.
