9,000 Driving licenses of expatriates taken illegally revoked

About 9,000 drivers’ licenses of expatriates who changed their profession after obtaining the licenses and women whose status changed after they obtained the licenses under family visa have been revoked, local daily Arab Times reported quoting sources from Ministry of Interior.

According to the report, those licenses were canceled after the ministry issued its latest decision regarding drivers’ licenses.

The report also said that the number of expatriates driving vehicles without drivers’ license has reduced considerably. From the beginning of this year until last Thursday traffic police arrested 3,000 people for driving vehicles without a license, reported added.
