Booking vehicle tests in Dubai? You'll now have to do it online
Turning queues into screen taps… Own a car in Dubai? In a move that's all about convenience and cutting-edge tech, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has rolled out a new online booking system for vehicle testing services in Dubai. The service allows drivers to book appointments for vehicle inspections. Which means you can finally say goodbye to long queues and hello to seamless scheduling, all from your phone or laptop. You can make your booking via the RTA website or mobile app. The initiative is designed to cut down waiting times, reduce congestion at testing centers, and improve overall customer satisfaction. According to Qais Al Farsi, Director of Vehicle Licensing at RTA's Licensing Agency, booking an appointment 'will help reduce waiting times by around 40 per cent. It will also improve occupancy rates, particularly at centres where utilisation had previously exceeded 80 per cent.' Not a fan of booking ahead? You can still walk in — but only at Tasjeel Hatta. Everywhere else, skipping the appointment will cost you an extra Dh100. So, you may as well get out your phone, and get your bookings done after a few quick taps. It's a smart move for a city constantly striving to stay ahead in innovation and service excellence. Thanks for making it easier for us, RTA… Other ways RTA is making life on the move easy nol cards In January 2024, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced that they will be upgrading the current nol card system. The upgrade will mean you won't need your physical nol cards to tap in and out anymore… you just need your mobile phone. RTA announced the project is due for completion by the end of 2026. The upgrade, as of March was 40 per cent complete. The upgrade will see a shift from the existing card-based ticketing system to a more advanced account-based ticketing (ABT) technology. The shift will ensure the system keeps pace with global advancements in digital payments and financial technology (fintech).

After Rs 1 Crore Lottery Win, Bengal Family Vanishes Overnight Leaving Elderly Mother Behind
Last Updated: Lottery winners usually seek police protection, but Shankar chose to stay hidden, raising concerns over who would be accountable if anything had gone wrong A daily wage labourer from Nadia's Shantipur had gone into hiding after a stroke of extraordinary luck turned his life upside down. Shankar, a resident of Shantipur's Baigachi Para, won Rs 1 crore in a lottery but had been too fearful to sleep at home since the windfall, choosing instead to stay out of sight without informing the police or even the ticket seller. Shankar, who occasionally buys lottery tickets to test his luck, purchased his winning ticket for just Rs 60. Despite not being addicted to playing the lottery, this small gamble turned him into a millionaire overnight. However, the joy of winning was overshadowed by worry, leading him and his family, except for his elderly mother, to disappear without informing anyone. Typically, lottery winners approach the police station for protection, but Shankar opted to stay hidden, raising concerns about who would have taken responsibility if any issues arose. Sources revealed that the following morning, Shankar and his brother visited a state-owned bank in Shantipur to settle their affairs. According to a report by Financial Express, recently a retired Indian engineer Sriram Rajagopalan experienced a life-changing moment when he bagged a staggering Rs 225 crore—roughly $27 million (Dh100 million)—in the Emirates Draw MEGA7. What started as a casual scroll through his phone ended in one of the biggest lottery wins ever recorded by an Indian citizen. Earlier in January, Anil Kumar, a government employee from Rajasthan, happened to purchase four lottery tickets during a trip to Ludhiana. In the Lohri Bumper draw, which offered a grand prize of Rs 10 crore, one of his tickets won the second prize of Rs 1 crore. The top prize was claimed by a resident of Ropar.
