In October this year, Dubai Police announced it would be impounding vehicles for up to 30 days for multiple traffic offences. Using mobile phones while driving, tailgating and sudden deviation are among the offences that will lead to the vehicle being confiscated for 30 days.

The federal traffic law specifies fines of between Dh400 and Dh1,000 and four black points for these offences. With this new law amendment, the 30-day impoundment will be an additional penalty in Dubai.
