The 3-Person Per Car Limit And Rules For Wearing Masks In Cars Still Stand
Dubai Police confirm the limit of three people permitted to travel in each car (with the exception of families) still applies, and masks must be worn by anyone travelling in a car of more than two people.
Following the news that business activity is gradually resuming, people questioned whether earlier rules still apply. Does the limit of three people per car still stand?
Police confirmed via Twitter, stating there is still a maximum of three people permitted to travel per car. However, an exception for families is in place, and up to five members of the same family are allowed to travel in the same car without fear of being fined.
Take note: If there are two people or more in one car, you need to wear a mask. If not, you can expect a AED3,000 fine.

You don’t need a face mask if you’re travelling alone, if there is more than one person in the car, masks are compulsory for all
Wearing a mask is not compulsory for those driving alone in the car. However, if you have others accompanying you, wearing a mask is mandatory for all. Those who fail to comply with the rule, they will be subject to a fine of AED3,000.#YourSecurityOurHappiness

If you have a fine, but you don’t believe it’s deserved, you can appeal it
@DubaiPoliceHQ Hi Dubai police, belated Eid wishes.
Yesterday I received a 3,000 AED fine for lowering my face mask to drink water whilst stopped at a red light. Then I pulled my face mask back up.
Please look into this, I was driving my own car and put nobody at risk. pic.twitter.com/ZkLEeRwSqx
