Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA) is cracking down on companies whose drivers have poor safety records via a series of safety campaigns.
According to state news agency WAM, the agency has identified 268 companies that have a high rate of traffic violations.
The RTA will be stepping up its programme of on-site inspections, focusing especially on worn tyres, defective lights, and missing or unclear numberplates.
“Our large-scale inspection visits to various transport related sites and firms will impact the improvement of safe principles and mechanisms that enhance companies’ consciousness of the dissemination of traffic safety, and a reduction in tragic accidents resulting from failure to inspect vehicles,” said Nabeel Al Ali, director of the RTA’s monitoring and enforcement department.
