Out of nearly 38,000 heavy vehicle inspections carried out last year, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) have issued over 14,000 violation tickets. Faulty lights and worn-out tyres were among the top offences.
These inspections were part of annual action plans developed by the Licensing Activities Monitoring Department to ensure public safety, said Mohammed Nabhan, director of the department at the Licensing Agency of the RTA.
“Last year, we carried out 37,691 inspections of heavy vehicles operated on various Dubai roads resulting in the issuance of 14,314 offence tickets for failure to comply with the technical and safety stipulations.”
He added: “The most frequent offences were: failure to comply with security and safety stipulations (3,593 offences), unroadworthy vehicles (3,428 offences), faulty rear and sidelights of the trailer (2,008 offences), and faulty tyres (1,644 vehicles). Inspections also covered commercial transport vehicles, sewage water transport and other heavy vehicles classified under commercial transport activities licensed by RTA.”
The inspection of heavy vehicles takes priority in the agency’s strategic plans and forms part of daily monitoring campaigns, Nabhan added.
“Road accidents of heavy vehicles can be fatal and may result in human and material losses much more than accidents of other types of vehicles. Therefore, it is imperative to ensure the safety of road users, be it pedestrians, drivers, or other motorists. We stress the elements of safety, durability and technical aspects in deciding whether these vehicles and their drivers qualify (for the emirate’s roads).”
