UAE postpones vehicle licensing limit for residents

The UAE Ministry of Interior has postponed the introduction of a limit on the number of vehicles residents can license, pending a further review of the proposed regulations.

The measure falls under Article 89 of the new Implementing Regulations of the Traffic Law.

The Ministry said the review will take public feedback into account and consider the rights of vehicle owners, the needs of families and investors, and different types of vehicle use.

It will also consider circumstances involving classic, rare and luxury vehicles before the appropriate regulatory requirements are finalised and approved.

The Ministry said public feedback plays an important role in improving legislation, protecting rights and ensuring regulations take different sections of society into account.
