Abu Dhabi Police (Facebook)

Abu Dhabi Police are recommending a third rear license plate for vehicles that sport a boot-attached bike rack.

The initiative is aimed at motorists who may have to obscure the rear plates to fix a rear-mounted cycle rack.

The authorities clarified that blocking a vehicle's plate is a fineable offence.

According to Article 27B of the Ministerial Decision No. 178 (2017), unclear vehicle plate numbers attract a fine of AED 400.

Dubai announced a similar license plate addition in September 2021.
