Heavy vehicle drivers who choose to ignore traffic laws will be deported from the country, an official has warned.
Colonel Humaid Odail Al Shamsi, director of the Traffic and Patrols Department at the Ministry of Interior (MoI), said that truck drivers who fail to properly load materials like debris, sand, and gravels they are transporting will face deportation, while their vehicles will be seized for a month.
The official also clarified that if drivers of heavy vehicles rented by contracting firms are found guilty of violating traffic rules, the owning transport companies have the right to sue the contracting companies and claim compensation for the damages.
Col. Al Shamsi made this statement prior to launching an intensive inspection campaign of heavy vehicles plying on the roads in Abu Dhabi emirate. The campaign is scheduled to kick off today (Thursday).
Brigadier Nasser Al Nuaimi, director general of MoI office, said an administrative order to this effect would be enforced with effect from today.
As part of the campaign, Abu Dhabi Police started deploying traffic patrols on highways, internal roads, exits and entry points of the capital as well as in Al Ain city. Source
