Check Traffic Law FreeMorocco's traffic law (مدونة السير / Code de la Route) was significantly reformed in 2010 to address road safety challenges. The law introduced a points-based driving license system, harsher penalties for repeat offenders, mandatory vehicle safety inspections, and stricter rules around drunk driving. With Morocco having one of the highest traffic accident rates in the region, understanding the law can help protect you from violations and ensure you know your rights after an accident.
After any traffic accident in Morocco, your first priority is safety. Secure the scene, check for injuries, and call emergency services if needed (dial 15 for SAMU or 150 for emergency services). You must complete a constat amiable (accident report form) with the other driver and report to your insurance company within 5 working days. Keep photos, witness contact details, and all documentation. 9anon AI can guide you through this process step by step, helping you understand what information to collect and what your insurance obligations are.
Common fines include: speeding (300-700 MAD depending on excess), running a red light (700 MAD), driving without seatbelt (300 MAD), using a phone while driving (300-700 MAD), and driving under the influence (up to 5,000 MAD + license suspension). Repeat offenses carry doubled fines.
Stay calm and secure the scene. Exchange insurance information with the other party. Fill out the accident report form (constat amiable). If there are injuries, call emergency services (15 or 150). Take photos of damage and gather witness information. Report to your insurance within 5 days.
