In response to social media posts showing a tuk-tuk being driven on a public road, the General Directorate of Traffic has confirmed that the violating vehicle was located and seized. The vehicle does not meet the approved safety standards and regulations for public road use. Legal procedures have been initiated accordingly.
The directorate reiterated its previously announced traffic regulations, which clearly prohibit the operation of such vehicles, including electric scooters and similar unregistered modes of transport, on main public roads, vehicle lanes, and road shoulders. Driving these vehicles in such areas constitutes a direct violation of the directorate's rules to regulate vehicle use and ensure public safety, as they pose significant risks to lives and property.
The General Directorate of Traffic affirms its ongoing efforts to prosecute all violators of these regulations. This includes confiscating vehicles and pursuing legal measures against their drivers. The directorate urges all road users to comply with traffic laws and regulations to safeguard lives and property and ensure overall road safety.
