Abu Dhabi Police will be patrolling the streets beginning next month to confiscate motor vehicles older than twenty years. The move comes in line with the new traffic regulations to scrap old vehicles, with an exception to the vintage cars.
From 1st December this year, the Traffic and Licensing department will stop registering vehicles older than 20 years, asserted Director of Abu Dhabi Traffic department Col. Hamad Adeel Al Shamisi.
