RESTRICTIONS ON EXPATRIATE VEHICLES OLDER THAN 10 YEARS IN KUWAIT

  • 04/08/2022

Kuwait City: A study conducted by a technical committee appointed to tackle traffic problems recommended cutting down the number of cars owned by expatriates older than 10 years. According to a local report, the study concluded that thousands of vehicles between 10 and 20 years old are causing pollution, increasing the risk of road accidents, contributing to the problem of traffic congestion and putting further pressure on subsidized fuel consumption.


Most of these cars are owned by marginal and low-wage migrant workers, the report added. The recommendation is based on earlier requests made by the Environmental Public Authority to address the pollution problem caused by old vehicles in Kuwait.
