All scheduled road tests on Monday to acquire a Dubai driving licence were cancelled due to the inclement weather, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) confirmed to Khaleej Times.
Several roads were flooded and made impassable due to waterlogging following continuous rains since Sunday. Motorists had to wade their way through water-clogged roads in the morning to reach their offices.
In a statement to Khaleej Times, the Road and Transport Authority (RTA) said, "Due to weather conditions and to ensure students' and trainers' safety, driving tests scheduled for today have been rescheduled."

The RTA in a tweet also said: “Emergency teams are addressing the impact of rainfall in Dubai. These ongoing efforts aim to ensure smooth traffic flow restoration.”
