Oman traffic fines are issued by Royal Oman Police. Fines accumulate against the licence on a rolling 12-month window; reaching the suspension threshold revokes the licence for a period set by the regulator. Severe offences such as 60+ km/h over limit and running a red light typically attract vehicle impound. This calculator covers the most common offences under the published fine schedule.
Worked example
In one month a driver gets fined for: 1 mobile phone use (OMR 10), 2 instances of 20-40 km/h speeding (OMR 60), 1 illegal parking (OMR 5), 1 no seatbelt (OMR 10). Total fines OMR 85, black points = 2 + 6 + 0 + 2 = 10 points. Reaching the official points threshold can lead to licence suspension.
