Authorities across the UAE repeatedly issue advisories to those who use two-wheelers to discourage violations and make sure they stay safe on the road.
Recently, 19 motorcycles were recently impounded after delivery service regulations were violated by riders in Dubai, the Roads and Transport Authority said.
The violations include failure to wear protective gear, reckless driving, and operating a motorcycle without the mandatory professional training certificate issued by the RTA, noted Ahmed Mahboob, CEO of Licensing Agency at RTA.

Dubai: Car showrooms cordoned off after massive fire at Awir auto zone
Multiple car showrooms remained cordoned off on Wednesday at Dubai Auto Zone in Al Awir, days after a massive fire broke out in the area. When Khaleej Times visited the site on Wednesday, the affected showrooms were found closed, with tapes sealing off the affected area. Charred debris was visible through broken windows, and the smell of burnt material still lingered. According to a nearby showroom staff and eyewitnesses, the fire started on Saturday afternoon at one of the car showrooms and rapidly spread to neighbouring outlets. Dubai Civil Defence teams were quick to respond and were seen battling the blaze in videos circulating on social media. 'The fire began shortly after noon at the VIP Stars showroom and quickly spread to the surrounding showrooms,' said a salesperson from Al Falasi Cars, which also sustained damage. 'Our other showroom is located right opposite. We saw the fire spreading and the emergency response teams arriving.' While the total number of vehicles destroyed is still being assessed, eyewitnesses said that multiple cars were damaged in the blaze. 'From our side alone, five cars were lost,' the staff member said. People working in the vicinity said that firefighters acted swiftly and were able to contain the fire before it spread further in the Auto Zone, which houses a large number of car dealerships and garages.

New fines and ways to pay in Abu Dhabi: All the recent rules
If you find yourself doing something careless while driving, parking or throwing out your rubbish in Abu Dhabi, there could be a fine out there with your name on it. But don't panic – we've rounded up the latest laws, limits and updates (breathe, some are optimistic) so you don't end up forking out your entire year's rent—or more—after one moment of breaking the rules. Here's your no-fuss, full-drama rundown of what's new (and what could cost you a fortune) on the streets of the capital. Run a red light? That'll be Dh50,000 Abu Dhabi has had enough of drivers playing around at intersections. The government has reminded drivers who run a red light that they could be waving goodbye to more than their no-claims bonus. Under Law No. 5 of 2020, you'll get: A Dh50,000 fine 30-day vehicle impoundment 12 black points And if your car isn't claimed in 3 months it will be sent to auction Throw in jail time if the violation causes a fatal accident – especially if you were texting, racing, or just driving recklessly. Time Out Tip: Amber means slow down, not floor it. Hit and run? That'll be Dh100,000 New UAE-wide traffic laws just dropped – and they are not playing around. If you're in an accident and think you can just scoot off quietly? Think again. Drivers now have just three hours to report an accident (big or small). Fail to do that and you're looking at: Up to one year in jail A fine of Dh50,000 to Dh100,000 Or both And no, you can't just roll into your neighbourhood garage – you need an official repair permit first. Valid excuses include actual injury or no mobile signal, but you'll need receipts (i.e. medical reports and witness statements). You can now pay fines early and save Good news for the mildly irresponsible among us: Abu Dhabi Police are now rewarding early birds with a 35 percent discount on traffic fines if you pay within 60 days. If you miss that you can still snag 25 percent off if you settle within a year. And yes, there are digital payment options, instalment plans and app-based solutions – so no, you don't need to queue anywhere. If you've spotted the campaign on petrol station screens recently, that's Abu Dhabi Police giving you a gentle nudge while you refill your tank and regret yesterday's U-turn. TAMM app now accepts appeals for certain fines Abu Dhabi's fines don't stop at the highway. If you've been pinged for improper waste disposal, dodgy landscaping, or letting your villa look like a haunted house – you can now appeal directly through the Tamm app. Here's the deal: You have one week to appeal It's free, fast and paperless You'll need to prove you fixed the issue Inspectors will check if you're bluffing. If you are? That fine could double So, stay in your lane – literally and legally. Abu Dhabi is all about smart cities, safer roads and way less nonsense. So whether you're in a Bentley or a battered Yaris, the rules are the same: report it, pay it, or fix it – or risk your car becoming government property.

Dubai's RTA revolutionises driver training with AI-powered smart monitoring
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has unveiled a cutting-edge Smart Monitoring System that leverages AI-powered cameras installed in driving school vehicles to monitor instructors and trainees in real-time. Operated via the Licensing Intelligent Operations Centre and inspectors' smart tablets, the new platform has reduced inspection times from 20 minutes to just one minute, while simultaneously boosting detected violations by fivefold. This dual triumph of speed and vigilance positions the system as a comprehensive tool for elevating training standards and enforcing safety protocols. View this post on Instagram A post shared by هيئة الطرق والمواصلات، دبي (@rta_dubai) In just seven months, the system has recorded 1,734,790 training sessions involving 245,764 trainees, a staggering 14‑fold increase over last year's figures. This meteoric rise underscores RTA's steadfast push toward its vision of becoming a world leader in seamless and sustainable mobility, and its commitment to digital transformation in monitoring practices. Smart surveillance Each driving‑school vehicle is outfitted with smart cameras powered by machine learning and computer vision. These tools automatically flag infractions such as: Use of a mobile phone by an instructor or a trainee Absence of a seatbelt Driving outside permitted training zones Failure to wear the prescribed uniform or maintain a professional appearance Distractions such as eating, drinking, or dozing off behind the wheel According to the RTA, this level of oversight ensures that every lesson adheres to the highest safety and professional standards. Educating the driver The Smart Monitoring System signals a profound shift in how field monitoring is conceptualised. More than an enforcement tool, it fosters a structured, professional training environment that aligns with Dubai's strategic vision for digital transformation and institutional innovation. RTA plans to roll out even more advanced features later this year, including predictive analytics and tight integration of instructor performance with licensing and permit systems. These upgrades promise to deepen the system's capabilities and create a more cohesive, data‑driven regulatory framework.
