Abu Dhabi: A total of 1,073 fines and warnings have been issued to motorists in the capital for failing to keep their cars clean, the Abu Dhabi City Municipality said in a press release issued on Sunday. The cars were found across the outskirts of the city, including in Mussaffah, Shahama and Wathba areas during recent inspections.
