Car owners leaving dirty, distorted, and abandoned vehicles face fines of up to AED 4,000 the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) has confirmed, saying vehicle owners face penalties for leaving their cars in public places, in a way that "distorts general appearance."
In a post on social media the authority confirmed: "Abu Dhabi's Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) has put in place regulations and laws against neglected vehicles under Act No. 2, 2012, to ensure a sustainable urban environment. Let's work together to keep our streets organized and clean!"
The authority has implemented three types of penalties depending on the type of violation. For first offenders a AED 500 fine will be given for those who leave dirty cars in public, followed by a AED 1,000 fine for a second offence. A third violation will see the offender issued with a AED 2,000 fine.
Under Law No. 2 of 2012 the DMT says penalties will be issued for cars that lead to a distorted public appearance, starting at AED 1,000 for a first violation, AED 2,000 for a second, and AED 4,000 for a third offence.
