Dubai: Speed radars and Salik toll gate cameras will be able to detect unregistered vehicles and issue fines automatically, the Roads and Transport Authority in Dubai said.
"This is a good opportunity to remind all vehicle owners of the need to ensure timely vehicle registration, which is now assisted by the RTA sending a reminder SMS to each owner two weeks prior to registration expiry," said Ahmad Bahrouzian, CEO of RTA Licensing Agency.
The number of vehicle owners who don't bother to renew their vehicle registration and insurance certificates on due dates is on the rise, thus making themselves vulnerable to multiple risks and fines.
Bahrouzian said: "This problem is continuously on the rise so that we are prompted to develop policy changes to significantly increase the fines, and introduce vehicle confiscation options against the use of unregistered and uninsured vehicles as well as other options to use modern technology, such as speed cameras and Salik readers to detect unregistered vehicles and issue fines automatically."
