Federal Traffic Council (FTC) has recommended linking renewal of driving licences with residency visa for drivers of taxis and buses, reported Arabic dailies.
At its meeting on Monday, the FTC suggested driving licence for professional drivers of taxis and buses is linked with the renewal of their residence visa, according to Emarat Al Youm and Al Khaleej.
This means validity of the licences depend on period of residence visas for drivers.
However, there is no change in the validity of personal driving licence.
Major-General Mohammed Saif Al Zaffin, Head, FTC, and Assistant Commander of Dubai Police, In-charge Operations, said the council discussed a proposal put forth by RTA for protection of rights of institutions and individuals who hire people, issue them licences, and then allow them to work elsewhere.
He added that linking validity of drivers’ licences to their residence visa would preserve the rights of all partie
