Regarding the position of drivers who commit irregularities, following their commitment during the first three months and receiving 25%, Al Mazrouei explained that some are concerned about canceling the rate of reduction they received if they commit irregularities, but there is no need to do so because the discount received by each driver committed during the period The former, has now become its right, and will not be deprived of it in the future.
