The UAE Ministry of Interior has decided to postpone its plan to impose a cap on the number of vehicles a person can register, following a review of public opinion. The proposed limit of five vehicles per person, which was part of a set of road law changes set to take effect in early 2027, has been put on hold. The Ministry made this announcement on Monday evening, stating that they would review and approve the necessary regulatory requirements before implementing any changes.
The review will take into account the rights of vehicle owners, the needs of families and investors, and the various uses of vehicles, including classic, rare, and luxury cars. The Ministry emphasized that public feedback and suggestions are crucial in improving legislation and enhancing the quality of life while protecting rights and considering different interests.
Other changes, such as a maximum driving period of nine hours within a 24-hour period and a minimum age requirement of 15 for an e-scooter permit, remain in place following Cabinet decision No 174 of 2026.
