No black points for parking vehicles in prohibited areas
Motorists parking their vehicles in prohibited areas need not fear of getting black points for the violation registered in absentia, a senior official of the Ministry of Interior has clarified
Colonel Ghaith Al Za'abi, Director of the Traffic Department, Ministry of Interior, said yesterday: "If a traffic policeman found an empty car parked in a prohibited place, he would issue a ticket in absentia. In this case, no black points will be added to the motorist's traffic record. He should, however, pay Dh200 as fine for the offence.
"However, if the driver is present, a ticket will be issued for the violation and the motorist will get two black points," he explained.
Answering a question about the implementation of the black point system in the midst of the parking crisis in the country, he said, "The ministry is well aware of the parking woes in all emirates. We have taken this into account and that is why we don't register black points in absentia.
"Though the ministry is not responsible for this crisis, the traffic departments are coordinating with municipalities for securing parking lots."
A number of multi-storey parking facilities would be built across the country, he added. Source
