Exciting news on the roads! The UAE government has just announced a new traffic law set to take effect on March 29, 2025, that lowers the minimum age for drivers to 17. This change opens up driving opportunities for younger residents, offering early experience on the road.
In addition to the age adjustment, the UAE is implementing key safety measures to improve road security. These include restrictions on using car horns within cities and stricter penalties for serious violations, like driving under the influence or during flood warnings. The law also prepares the country for the future of driving, with regulations designed for self-driving and electric vehicles.
