The Transport Authority of Dubai's weeklong crackdown on light vehicles or pickups across Dubai resulted in reporting of 173 vehicles fitted with illegal accessories.
About 161 vehicles complied with the removal of the accessories, and 12 vehicles failed to remove them.
The inspection also found two expired driver licenses reported, 25 vehicles found with expired registration, and 28 vehicles were impounded.
The Monitoring and Inspection Department, Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) launched a campaign targeting accessories fitted to light trucks, including the verification of the validity of vehicle registration and driver license.
Senior officials at the RTA announced that the campaign intends to raise the awareness of drivers about the safety of light vehicles, and the importance of complying with the applicable rules to maximize road safety and minimize traffic accidents.
"This recurrent campaign is aimed at tracking violating light vehicles, and removing body accessories fitted to these vehicles, which distort the image of the Emirate and constitute an additional road risk," said Mohammed Nabhan, Director of Monitoring and Inspection, RTA's Licensing Agency.
"During the campaign, hi-tech tablets linked with the Dubai traffic system were used to verify the validity of driver licenses and vehicles registration, and accordingly issue appropriate offences. The campaign played a huge role in detecting violations and impounding violating vehicles. It also checked the compliance with the results of previous campaigns as regards the removal of accessories, and the timely renewal of licenses," said Nabhan.
