This offence could cost you AED 3,000

Abu Dhabi Police are urging the public to think twice before accepting rides from illegal taxi providers.

The authority is reminding residents about the risks involved in using unlicensed taxis and other forms of illegal transportation.

Inspections are also being stepped up to nab drivers who use private vehicles to transport passengers.

Unlicensed cabbies will be slapped with a AED 3,000 fine and 24 black points, in addition to having their vehicles confiscated for 30 days.
