We are fully aware that the design and issuance of vehicle number plates is an inherent responsibility of the RTA in Dubai, and as it is the governmental body that has been given this right by the law, practically everyone will abide by any instructions or changes made by the Authority in this regard. The size of the efforts of the Authority in pursuit of excellence, and in order to provide very sophisticated services to the public, and this is no difference also.
But in order to express the point of view and to convey the different opinions, the Commission must be aware that the continuous and successive changes in the designs and forms of car plates, periodically and unprecedentedly globally, have become an issue that is not comfortable for the public. It is characterized by a bit of haste and inconsistency. Not all of these changes, modifications and confusion are inherently necessary, because they are wasted efforts that can be made available for other more important things!
Regardless of the question of "mandatory" change of the new figure in 2020, regardless of the financial value of the public for this change, can we ask first and foremost why this change, and what is new emergency and salt that required the change of previous paintings?
According to a simple monitoring of the officials' comments on the matter, I found that there are two main reasons that were repeated by more than one official. The first is the Authority's keenness to unify the identity of the vehicle numbers in the Emirate of Dubai. The second reason is that the new paintings are more clear than the old ones, For the number to be more prominent, and marked the «Dubai» on the left and at the bottom of the category «code».
Personally, and thousands more, note that the new figure is not more obvious than the previous, but the opposite may be healthier, as you can not see and know the details of the new figure with the naked eye, not even glasses and contact lenses at close range, how long the distance, Small and indistinguishable, and can not be seen code or even the name of the emirate comfortably to the eye, which means that the new paintings are not commensurate with the international standards used in all countries of the world, in terms of thickness and size of numbers, and the degree of clarity, Not comfortable for the eye, it also obscures the identity of any car It was involved in a traffic accident, or run over accident, the driver and run away from the scene quickly, as one can not pick up an important figure hit unit look!
As for the first reason, which is to unify the identity of the vehicle numbers in the emirate, we ask the Authority, and who is responsible for the multiplicity of figures in the emirate? I think that the public has nothing to do with this matter. It is not the right of every vehicle owner to put a painting of his design and in accordance with his mood, but all car license plates in the city issued by the Roads Authority, although there are many different forms.
Commission officials believe that the new paintings are more beautiful, is their point of view, but it is certainly relative, there are certainly thousands of people believe that the old paintings more beautiful, it would have been better if they were kept without unnecessary change.
