KUWAIT CITY, May 1 : Fines for traffic violations committed by people who drive rented cars or their sponsor’s vehicles should be paid by rental offices and sponsors, in case the violators leave the country, a source in the General Traffic Department at the Ministry of Interior told Al-Watan Arabic daily.
The source said rental offices will be made to oblige clients sign a promissory note using K-Net card and it will be used only if the client violates traffic rules during the rental time. Indicating that this policy is practiced in some GCC states, the source said sponsors of drivers should also check from time to time to ensure that the driver did not commit any traffic violations.
