Dirty car in public parking? Dubai will fine you

According to a media report, Dubai Municipality is fining residents AED 500 for parking their cars in public places and leaving them unwashed for a long period of time. The authorities have said that leaving your car unwashed affects the cleanliness and the aesthetic appearance of the city.

The report suggests that municipal inspectors will look out for such cars. The cars will be checked to see if they have been damaged, vandalised, contain rubbish, or if they have been stationary for a long time. Once such dirty cars are identified, a notice will be stuck on the windshield. Owners will have 15 days to clean the car, failing which, the car will be impounded. If the owner does not contact the municipality, the vehicle will be auctioned off.
