A UAE family faced a last-minute crisis on a Friday night when a car rental company denied accepting their recently renewed digital driving licence. The traveller, along with his wife and children, had to depart for Europe the next morning. Realising the urgency, he called TV presenter Ahmad Sultan, who, despite it being his weekend break, contacted Lieutenant Colonel Khaled Al Sheikh from Sharjah Police.
Lieutenant Colonel Al Sheikh immediately went to the traffic department, arranging for the renewed licence to be printed. Within an hour, the renewed licence was ready, allowing the traveller to collect his rental car and take his family on their planned trip without any hindrance. This quick response from the Sharjah Police showcased their dedication to serving the community, even during off-hours, ensuring the family's holiday remained untroubled.
