Don’t you just want ruthless drivers to sell car in Dubai , and free themselves of causing agony to other drivers. You may wish it, but it is not in your hands. However, it is in the hands of law and now there is a significant penalty on any driver that is found causing any of the following:
- Run away: Running away from a traffic policeman is a criminal offense that can cost you AED 800 if you drive a light vehicle or AED 1000 for a heavy vehicle
- Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit designated by RTA is never a good idea and you can be fined for the speed you exceed at. For exceeding anything more that 80km/hr you could be charged AED 3000, for exceeding by 60 km/h a fine of AED 2000 and for exceeding by 50 km/h a fine of AED 1000.
- Safety: Most traffic laws are put in place to ensure the safety of others on the road. Therefore, drivers driving a heavy vehicle in a way that is a threat to others can have their licence suspended for a year along with being fined AED 3000.
- Traffic Lights: Traffic lights ensure a smooth flow of traffic, one small negligence can cause a major disruption, hence a light vehicle crossing a red light can be fined AED 1000.
- Priority: Understanding the rights of official and emergency vehicles is imperative. If they are not given their due rights of passage you will be taking the onus for a AED 1000 fine.
- Rights of Pedestrians: The privilege of owning a car does not mean that the rights of others in the society are jeopardized. Thus if you violate the rights of the pedestrians you could be fined AED 500.
- Tires: Tires determine the safety of the car on the road, so if you are found driving with expired tires get ready to lose AED 500.
Now you may not be able to, but the law will for sure compel the ruthless drivers, who refuse to change their habits, to sell car in Dubai, and find other modes of transportation. For more information about laws on the road, cars and the car market check out CarSwitch.com.
