Dubai Police nab motorist, seize vehicle for allowing child to sit on lap and steer car

Published

Visitors and residents in Dubai are being reminded of the UAE’s strict road safety laws after a motorist was caught on camera endangering his child’s life by allowing the child to sit on his lap while driving. 

Dubai Police’s advanced smart detection systems identified the violation, highlighting the city’s commitment to ensuring the highest safety standards on its roads.

According to Federal Traffic Law, front-seat passengers must be at least 145 cm tall and over the age of 10, a rule designed to protect young children from serious injuries in the event of an accident. The incident was recorded by Dubai Police’s technical monitoring devices, and authorities swiftly took action by summoning the driver and confiscating the vehicle.

Major General Saif Muhair Al Mazrouei, Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police, emphasized the dangers of allowing children to sit in the front seat, citing risks of severe injuries or even fatalities in crashes. “Airbags deploy with great force, which can be extremely dangerous for children seated improperly. Seatbelts in the front are also designed for adults, increasing the risk of head, chest, or neck injuries for younger passengers,” he warned.

Dubai Police’s smart monitoring systems continue to enhance road safety by detecting and recording high-risk behaviour, ensuring swift intervention. Authorities also urge residents and visitors to report reckless driving via the “Police Eye” feature on the Dubai Police app or the “We Are All Police” hotline at 901.

UAE corporate tax: Businesses must update records by March 31 or face penalties 

Published

on

The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has urged businesses that have yet to update their tax records to take advantage of an extended grace period, allowing them to submit their details by March 31, 2025, without incurring administrative penalties.

In a statement issued Thursday, the FTA reminded registrants that, under the Executive Regulations of the Federal Decree-Law on Tax Procedures, businesses must notify the authority of any changes to their registered information within penalties. Failure to do so may result in penalties.

The required updates include key business details such as company name and address, trade license activities, legal entity type, partnership agreements for unincorporated entities, and articles of association or equivalent documentation.

To support compliance, the UAE Cabinet has introduced a grace period that allows businesses to update their records without facing penalties. Any fines incurred during this period for late updates will be waived and reimbursed.

The FTA emphasised that the initiative aims to support businesses, simplify tax compliance, and contribute to economic growth. Registrants seeking further details can refer to the public clarification available on the FTA’s official website.
