During the current global situation, a nasty habit has started to occur within the UAE. So vile it makes us cringe just thinking about it. And yes, we’re talking about people throwing their used masks and gloves on out of their car and on to the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How hard is it to put them in the bin? Surely it can’t be that difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you or you happen to know someone who does this, make note that as of last week, it is a fineable offence as per the Abu Dhabi Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyone caught disposing of used gloves or face masks put of their car window will be given an AED 1,000 fine and six black points added to their license. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The masks and gloves pose a threat to public health and the environment. They may have been contaminated and may lead to the spread of diseases,” the Abu Dhabi Police said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“People should avoid such bad behaviours in order to protect the environment and the civilisational appearance of cities.” Said the police<\/p>\n\n\n\n
