All disabled people are exempt from paying parking fees in Dubai and Abu Dhabi  as long as their vehicles carry stickers which can be obtained from the Dubai and Abu Dhabi Police. Many people drive cars but are unaware of the exemption. Many have been fined for various parking offences, but these have been cancelled. Disadvantaged people can use parking space without paying a fee provided that their car carries a sticker and the person driving the car is disabled. (The 'Gulf Today')
