Over 700 traffic tickets were issued to motorists for parking in spots reserved for people with special needs in Fujairah, a top police officer has said.
According to Brigadier Mohammed Ghanim Al Kaabi, Commander-in-Chief of the Fujairah Police, if a motorist parks his/her vehicle in a disabled-only spot, a fine of Dh1,000 and four black points are slapped against the motorist.
This is according to article number 23 of the traffic law, he added.
Brigadier Al Kaabi said a total of 180 permits were issued last year to motorists with special needs. Only those with these permits are allowed to park in the disabled-only spots, he affirmed.
The permit must be placed on the windshield in such a way that inspectors are able to read them clearly, he said.
