Noisy Cars Under Scrutiny: Dubai Police Issue Over 12,000 Fines for Modifications

Dubai Police have fined over 12,000 vehicle owners for excessive noise and illegal modifications. Offenders are also required to pay additional fees of up to AED 10,000. Since the beginning of this year, more than 12,000 drivers in Dubai have faced penalties for unauthorized car modifications that caused excessive noise and disturbances, authorities reported on Friday.

The violations included significant changes to vehicle engines or chassis without proper permits. Specifically, 5,523 fines were issued for operating noisy, modified vehicles, while 6,496 were for unauthorized engine modifications. Driving noisy vehicles is considered a serious traffic offense, punishable by a fine of AED 2,000 and 12 black points on the driver’s license, Dubai Police stated. Additionally, offenders may have to pay up to AED 10,000 to retrieve their impounded vehicles.

Major General Saif Muhair Al Mazrouei, Director of Dubai Police’s Traffic Department, warned against installing technologies that enhance engine performance, as these not only increase noise levels but also pose risks to residents in residential areas. He further highlighted the dangers posed by "reckless and careless drivers," emphasizing that the law penalizes those who operate vehicles in a way that endangers their own lives or the safety of others.
