The UAE's Ministry of Interior has postponed its plan to cap the number of vehicles a person can own, following public opinion gathering. Initially announced last week, the proposed limit would have restricted residents to a maximum of five registered vehicles, with additional fees for exceeding the initial two-vehicle limit. However, the ministry announced the postponement on Monday evening, citing the need to complete a review and ensure appropriate regulatory requirements are met.
The review will take into account the rights of vehicle owners, family and investor needs, as well as the various uses of vehicles, including classic, rare, and luxury cars. The ministry stressed that public feedback and suggestions are crucial for improving legislation and enhancing quality of life, while also protecting rights and considering diverse interests.
Despite this change, other road law modifications, such as a maximum 9-hour driving period within a 24-hour period and a minimum age requirement of 15 for e-scooter permits, remain in effect.
