Dubai aims to crack down on expired registrations

The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority is asking insurance companies to no longer insure vehicles with expired registration, a senior official told Gulf News. 'We are trying to develop a mechanism with the help of insurance companies to stop insurance of vehicles after expiry of their registration because such vehicles pose a serious threat to road users,' Ahmad Hashim Behroozian, Chief Executive Officer of the RTA's Licensing Agency told the daily. He said there are more than 80,000 vehicles in Dubai with expired registration.
