As many as 6,000 cars abandoned by its owners has been confiscated during the first half of the year, according to the Sharjah Municipality.
Most of the cars belong to residents who left the country for summer vacation. The cars were found either parked in unauthorised areas or covered by clothes in public streets.

How to avoid impounding Don't leave the car in public car parking lots or open areas. Don't cover the cars fully, as they cover the licence plates of cars. Violations that result in impounding of vehicles attract a fine of Dh1,000 if they were found in unauthorised areas and Dh500 for cars found distorting the view of the city. The fines will be doubled for repeat offences, and in case of failing to be the fines on times, an additional fees of Dh150 will be added during the first month and Dh50 for every next month. When the grace period is over, the car will be confiscated and sent to the impoundment lots located on the Sharjah-Umm Al Quwain border. Abandoned heavy trucks will be sent to industrial areas 11 and 12. All the impounded vehicles will be auctioned off within a period of six months. |
