The campaign aimed to prevent fraudulent concealment of vehicle plate data, making it difficult to read and monitor, with the inability to distinguish its classification in terms of category and source.

He called on drivers not to cover vehicle plates or hide their data in any way.

Al Naqbi also warns drivers to avoid hanging an object on top of the plate, hiding its data, for such as hanging a bicycle behind the vehicle covering the back number plate. This practice exposes the drivers to prosecution.
