New Abu Dhabi 400 dh fine for Covering Number Plates of Towed Vehicles
Abu Dhabi Police have issued a stern warning to recovery vehicle drivers regarding the illegal practice of covering number plates on towed vehicles.
In accordance with the Federal Traffic Law, violators will face a fine of Dh400 and incur four black points on their driving records. This move is part of Abu Dhabi’s broader efforts to enhance road safety and maintain transparency in vehicle identification.
The regulation emphasizes the importance of visible number plates, which are crucial for vehicle identification and law enforcement. Covering them, whether intentionally or unintentionally, disrupts this process and may potentially facilitate illegal activities.
The fine and black points are deterrents to ensure that recovery vehicle drivers comply with the law, thereby promoting safety and accountability on the roads.
Abu Dhabi Police urge all drivers, especially those operating recovery vehicles, to adhere strictly to this regulation. Maintaining visible number plates not only complies with the law but also supports the wider community by contributing to the safety and security of all road users in the emirate.
Covering the number plates of towed vehicles can obstruct law enforcement’s ability to monitor and track vehicles, potentially leading to issues in identifying stolen cars or verifying the legitimacy of the towing process.
The introduction of this fine serves to deter such practices, enhancing road safety and ensuring compliance with traffic regulations.
