Gtd Organizes Security, Durability Campaign, Impound Vehicles

The General Traffic Department (GTD) organized several traffic campaigns in various parts of the country to impound vehicles which do not meet the security and durability conditions, reports Al-Jarida daily.

The Al-Jarida daily said the campaigns in the six governorates were carried out simultaneous under the supervision of the Technical Testing Department, which resulted in issuing 1,940 traffic citations and sent one minor to Juvenile Prosecution.

The director of the Technical Testing Department at the GTD, Colonel Misha’al Al-Suwaihi, said in a press the main objective of these campaigns is not to issue citations and impound vehicles as much as to educate citizens and residents about the need of adhering to security and durability conditions of vehicles to prevent traffic accidents.

He pointed out that the technical inspection engineers, during the security campaigns, noticed the presence of a large number of motorists driving without renewing their insurance documents which means they have not taken their vehicles for technical testing over a long period of time.

He added, all such vehicles have been impounded and will be allowed to ply of the roads only after they are declared safe and secure.
