The Dubai Police have recently confiscated over 650 electric scooters in the Al Barsha area during the year 2024. This significant move is part of a broader effort to regulate the use of electric scooters and ensure public safety in the city.
Reasons for the Confiscation
The main reasons behind the confiscation include:
- Non-compliance with safety regulations: Many scooters were found to be used without adhering to the mandated safety standards set by the authorities.
- Improper parking and usage: Scooters were often parked in unauthorized places, causing obstruction and potential hazards to pedestrians.
- Lack of proper registration: Some scooter users did not have the necessary permits or registrations required by law.
Dubai Police’s Measures and Guidelines
To address these issues, the Dubai Police have implemented several measures, including:
- Increasing patrols in popular areas like Al Barsha to monitor scooter usage.
- Conducting awareness campaigns highlighting safe and lawful scooter operation.
- Imposing fines and penalties on violators to deter unsafe practices.
