Following Sharjah's announcement to revise the fees for releasing impounded vehicles, the emirate on Wednesday published a list of fines and penalties.
These offences, such as reckless driving and negligence, present serious threats to public safety and property. Once the legal impoundment period has expired, the decision aims to facilitate the return of these vehicles.
