Dh500 Fine for Dirty Car Owners in UAE
If you’ve got a dirty car and plan to
wash it when you get back from holiday, or even if you are in UAE but not
washing your car properly, think again;
You’re carelessness could cost you
Dh500 in fines from municipality.
According to a rule issued by Dubai
Municipality, residents will be issued with a Dh500 fine if they leave their
vehicle parked on public parking spaces, and leave it unwashed for a long
period of time.
Not only in Dubai, has Sharjah
municipality also giving dh500 tickets to dirty car owners.
Dubai Municipality previously
explained that this type of behavior can “tarnish the aesthetic appearance of
the city,” and issued the reminder to residents who might be planning a long
trip abroad during their summer holiday.
Municipal inspectors will target
vehicles that look as though they have not been used in a long time, which
means they will look out for the big tell-tale signs on the car, and check if
it is damaged, vandalized, contains rubbish, or if it has been stationary for a
long time.
Once the unkempt car has been
identified, inspectors will stick a notice on the vehicle’s windshield.
If the vehicle owner does not contact
the municipality to pay the fine, the vehicle will be sold by auction, as per
the rules issued by Dubai Municipality.
