Abu Dhabi: Motorists across the country will soon have uniform driving licence, Gulf News learnt.
A centralised system, linking all the traffic departments in the country, is also under way. This comes as the new Traffic Law will take effect from March 1.
"Discussions have been on for a while to decide upon a common type of card for all the licence holders unlike now when each emirate issues a different looking card," said a senior traffic official.
"We follow the same rules and regulations so it is important for all the emirates to issue identical cards," he said, without elaborating on when the system will come into effect. The centralising of the traffic departments in the country has already been completed though the official launch of this system is yet to happen. "The system is waiting the nod of higher authorities."
According to officials at the Traffic Department in Abu Dhabi, one of the benefits of the centralised system would be that it would prevent licence seekers from opening files in different emirates simultaneously.
I believe that all great achievements and success in life, and all changes for the better, have one powerful characteristic in common: The First Step. Take the first step, and the journey has a way of taking care of itself.”
