- Police will issue fines for motorists who stick logos on the number plates.
Dubai: Police will fine motorists who put logos, stickers or images on the number plates, a senior police official warned.
Brigadier Mohammad Saif Al Zafein, Director of Dubai Police's Traffic Department, said the department will start issuing fines for offending motorists next week by monitoring them.
He warned motorists of sticking logos and images on the number plates to hide or bury the numbers.
Brigadier Al Zafein said those logos and stickers confuse traffic policemen when noting down the plate number and they even find difficulty in differentiating between the source of the number plate, type and place of issuance.
"Traffic police personnel have been given instructions to monitor and fine vehicles that do not abide by the rules," he said.
The fine for sticking logos or images on the number plates is Dh200 and three black points and comes under the lack of clarity of number plates.
