Drive Smarter In The U.A.E: Understanding The New Traffic Regulations

 The UAE Cabinet has endorsed a novel federal traffic regulation, as announced by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice-President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai.

This new regulation will introduce modifications to the categorization of vehicles and the employment of contemporary technologies on the roads. The objective is to synchronize with the swift evolution of the global transport sector. The Dubai Ruler has indicated that the legislation will facilitate the increased adoption of autonomous and electric vehicles. It will also evaluate different personal transportation methods and the general dependence on transport systems. The law specifies which groups are ineligible for driving licenses, the conditions for license suspension, and the rules concerning vehicle insurance, inspections, and driving school operations. Although the full details of the law are pending, it is anticipated to encompass:

•  Vehicle classifications
• Driver duties and licensing conditions
• Autonomous vehicle regulations
• Driving school guidelines
• Vehicle insurance and inspection protocols

 The federal traffic law is set to capitalize on the technological advancements that mark the UAE’s roadways.

Sheikh Mohammed proclaimed this law following a UAE Cabinet session he chaired, where numerous issues were considered and sanctioned, demonstrating the nation’s pledge to advancement.
