  3. New Radar in Dubai catches driver with a child on lap

Dubai’s roads are known for their strict traffic regulations designed to ensure the safety of all road users. Recently, smart cameras helped Dubai Police catch a driver with a child sitting on his lap.

Under the UAE Federal Traffic Law, children under 10 years old or shorter than 145 cm are prohibited from sitting in the front seat due to safety risks associated with seatbelts and airbags.

If you’re unsure about local driving rules or want to avoid fines and penalties, the best solution is to rent a car with a professional driver from Ride.Rent.

Dubai’s Strict Traffic Laws: What You Need to Know

Dubai authorities take road safety very seriously, and violations come with severe penalties. Here’s what you should keep in mind:

Fine for Endangering Lives — Driving recklessly or in a way that endangers others leads to:

  • AED 2,000 fine

  • 23 black points on your license

  • 60-day vehicle impoundment

Child Safety Rules — Children must not sit in the front seat if they are:

  • Younger than 10 years old

  • Shorter than 145 cm

Airbag Risks — Airbags are designed for adults, and deploying at high speed during an accident can cause serious injuries to children.

Public Reporting Encouraged — Dubai Police urges citizens to report dangerous driving via the Dubai Police app or by calling 901.

To stay safe and avoid trouble, it’s essential to follow these regulations, especially if you’re unfamiliar with Dubai’s strict traffic rules.
