There are currently 47,000 delivery vehicles, including cars and motorbikes, on the Kuwait roads, local Arabic daily Al-Shahed reported citing a recent study. However, more than 3,000 of these vehicles have not been renewed because they do not meet the required criteria.

As per the current rule, the lifespan of the vehicle must be less than seven years for cars and less than four years for motorbikes.

According to the study, these 47,000 drivers, who operate day and night, cause serious traffic problems due to non-compliance with traffic rules, a lack of knowledge about the laws, and the acquisition of licenses through improper means.

The study also pointed out that some domestic workers escape from their sponsors and work in the field of delivery for better wages.

The study called on the relevant authorities in the Ministry of Interior to reconsider the licensing of delivery companies to help in preventing further traffic congestion.
