Abu Dhabi Police have issued a fresh warning to motorists against using vehicles with old or expired tyres.



In a public service announcement, Abu Dhabi Police reminded motorists that they will be penalized with a 500 AED fine, 4 black points and have their vehicle impounded for one week if caught using unfit tyres.




Police further stressed that driving with unfit tyres can be dangerous especially during the summer months as temperatures can peak from 45 °C to 50 °C.

The traffic and patrols directorate at Abu Dhabi Police pointed out that last year from January to June 2019, two people were killed, eight sustained moderate injuries and four others were slightly injured in seven traffic accidents caused by the explosion of tyres.

During the same period, as many as 5,376 vehicles were fined and seized in Abu Dhabi for having damaged or expired tyres.




Police urged motorists to examine their vehicles tyres on a regular basis, check the air pressure and to ensure their cars pass the vehicle renewal test.

“Any damages or cracks can lead to serious traffic accidents, and may result in severe injuries and even death,” cautioned Abu Dhabi Police.

  1. This is a great move by the Government of Abu Dhabi to check the expired tyres that can prove to be deadly as mentioned in the news article and it is in the line of public safety on roads. TDriving with expired tyres is not only dangerous for the driver but for the other vehicles on road as well.We fully support this move and say thanks a lot to Abu Dhabi Police.
