Is your car dirty? Best to get it to a car wash immediately as the Dubai Municipality will issue you a fine of AED 500 if your car is dirty.<\/p>\n

Dubai Municipality has urged residents of Dubai not to leave their vehicles\u00a0unwashed for extended periods of time as “this type of uncivilised behaviour can tarnish the aesthetic appearance\u00a0of the city.”<\/p>\n

Abdul Majeed Abdul Aziz Al Saifaie, director of Dubai Municipality’s\u00a0waste management department announced; “First, the vehicle will be identified whether\u00a0it meets the conditions, such as obstructing\u00a0the city’s cleanliness, and then a violation notice will be issued by putting a warning sticker on the vehicle.”<\/p>\n

Once that sticker has been stuck to the motor vehicle, owners will have 15 days to clean the vehicle. If the owner does not clean the car in the time frame, the vehicle will be confiscated and moved to a scrap yard.<\/p>\n

Once moved to the yard, if the driver still refuses to pay the fine, the vehicle will be auctioned off.<\/p>\n

Note: The warning is for cars that are completely\u00a0covered in dirt. If your car has dirt on the tyres and a light coating of dust, it shouldn’t be an issue.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Abu Dhabi has already implemented an identical system and has issued over 1,000 fines to motorists over the first five months of 2018. Abu Dhabi City Municipality\u00a0fines are far higher and stricter than Dubai as owners have just three days to clean the vehicle or face the car being towed away and a fine of AED 3,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
