Due to the hot weather, many Dubai residents are rushing to get their car windows tinted. As a solution, the Dubai Police announced on Sunday that car owners will now be allowed to use 50 per cent tint in their car windows, except trucks and taxis.
The new Federal Traffic Law was introduced on July 1, ending the long-standing 30 percent tint rule. This new set of laws now allow cars to have a darker window tint, except for the front windscreen.
Meanwhile, the Federal Traffic Council will also introduce the Dubai white points system for good drivers to the whole country. The white point system rewards good motorists who do not have any kind of traffic violation for the whole year.
“The white point system, which was being implemented in Dubai for some years, will be introduced in the whole country. We want to reward good motorists who follow traffic rules,” Major General Mohammad Saif Al Zafein, Assistant Commander-in Chief for Operational Affairs at Dubai Police and Director of the Federal Traffic Council as saying.
