Kuwait introduces smart home vehicle impoundment system under new electronic monitoring scheme

## New System for Traffic Offenders

Kuwait's Ministry of Interior has launched an innovative smart home vehicle impoundment system. This initiative allows motorists to keep their impounded vehicles at home, rather than in designated traffic facilities, under a new electronic monitoring scheme.

## How It Works

The system involves installing a tracking device, approved by the General Traffic Department, in the vehicle. This device ensures compliance with the impoundment terms. Motorists can request to transfer their impounded vehicle from a traffic facility to their home, provided they meet the conditions and install the necessary device.

## Costs and Conditions

Users of this service will incur a daily fee of KD2, along with additional charges for the device installation at their residence. Vehicle owners are required to avoid tampering with the device, report any malfunctions, return the device after the impoundment period, and adhere to movement restrictions set by traffic authorities.
