Drivers warned to ensure their licences match the type and use of their vehicles.

Riyadh: Saudi Arabia’s General Directorate of Traffic on Monday, September 7, reminded drivers that they must hold a driving licence appropriate to their vehicle’s size and intended use.

The directorate said driving a vehicle with a licence that does not correspond to its size or type of use is considered a traffic violation. The offence carries a financial penalty ranging from SAR 1,000 to SAR 2,000.

The traffic authority issued the reminder on its official X account, urging motorists to ensure they have the correct licence for the vehicles they drive.
