By calling 999

When we called the Traffic department (11 July 2021, 8:40 am) on their phone number 234 2000, we were told that, residents can also call the emergency line 999 to report incidents related to traffic, including that of smoke-belching vehicles.

Any report or complaint must include specific information: car’s plate number, type of vehicle, the location where you witnessed the incident, and the date and time. The authorities will investigate the report/complaint and will take appropriate action.

Let’s make sure the vehicles we’re driving get serviced regularly. What would you do if you saw cars emitting thick, bad smoke? Will you report them? Found this article helpful? Like and share! It keeps us going!
