RTA conducts motorcycle inspection campaigns
As part of its ongoing commitment to training quality and learner safety, the Licensing Agency at Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) carried out a series of comprehensive inspection campaigns across driver training facilities in the emirate. Held over a period of three months under RTA's routine inspection schedule, the campaigns focused on motorcycles used for training driving licence applicants, as well as the condition of training tracks and practice yards. The inspections aimed to ensure full compliance with RTA's approved standards governing track conditions and practical training procedures. These efforts are designed to uphold public safety and ensure a secure, high-quality training environment across all facilities and equipment used in practical driving lessons. The inspection campaigns covered 26 training facilities, during which a total of 2,391 inspections were conducted and several violations were recorded. Among the most notable violations were failure to meet the technical standards for motorcycle tyre maintenance and non-compliance with the training session durations specified by the RTA. Saeed Al Ramsi, Director of Licensing Activities Monitoring at RTA's Licensing Agency, stated: 'One of the key objectives of these campaigns is to stress the importance of regular motorcycle maintenance and the correct placement of directional signage on training tracks, as both are critical to delivering a smooth and safe training experience that meets the highest standards of safety and training quality.' 'These campaigns are part of RTA's efforts to improve service efficiency and ensure that all relevant entities comply with the applicable regulations in a way that enhances the customer experience and their trust in the quality of services delivered.' Recently, the RTA activated the Vehicle Inspection Appointment Booking service on the 'RTA Dubai' app and the website . Effective June 2, 2025, the booking will be mandatory for all vehicle inspections at technical testing centres across the emirate. For customers who prefer to visit without a prior appointment, an optional walk-in service will be available at 19 centres, subject to an additional service fee of Dhs100.
