Driving in Dubai is known to be a convenient, yet expensive affair. While fuel costs are low and Salik gates give you the convenience of skipping traffic lights, costs such as car maintenance, insurance instalments and traffic fines tend to burn a hole in the pocket.

The solution: always follow the traffic rules.

Here are some offences that can not only attract fines, but also get your vehicle impounded for over 30 days.
