13 Jul July 13, 2016 All vehicle testing centres in Dubai recently started testing vehicles due for export from the UAE to ensure their roadworthiness when they reach their country of destination. <pCars with export plates were not fully tested in the past. But the RTA has changed this rule in order to enhance road and traffic safety for everyone. “This initiative aims to curb potential accidents by these vehicles, as they were not previously required to undergo comprehensive technical tests,” Ahmad Behroozian, CEO of RTA’s Licensing Agency, said. “Accordingly, [these] vehicles have to undergo technical testing to ensure they are fit for safe and secure movement on roads, which would also help protect the lives of road users. If the customer wishes to export the vehicle without requesting plates or driving it locally, an inspection is required to verify the details of the vehicle,” he added. Behroozian said the RTA’s Licensing Agency has a Central Inspection System (CIS) considered as one of the most effective and sophisticated systems in this field. “The system has several features such as curbing technical violations, linking technical testing centres through a unified electronic system (enabling access to all technical reports of vehicles), and granting or denying users the rights of carrying out technical tests. The system would also help establish uniform technical testing standards applicable to all sorts of vehicles.”
