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.
