Egypt’s Traffic Law Allows Vehicle Licence Withdrawal for Certain Road Violations

Egypt’s current traffic law allows traffic officers to withdraw vehicle licences when drivers commit certain violations while travelling on public roads.

The provision gives officers the authority to take action against a vehicle’s licence when an offence falls within the cases specified by the law.

The power described concerns the licence permitting the vehicle to operate on the road, rather than simply a general reference to a driver’s personal driving licence.

The available summary does not identify the violations that trigger withdrawal. It also does not specify how long a licence may be withheld or the procedures for recovering it.
