Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1794

Vehicle licensing. Its condition. Vehicles must always be roadworthy, with equipment conforming to the specifications and standards applicable in the State of Kuwait, so that their operation does not conflict with the design and directions of roads, squares, roundabouts and intersections. Empowering the Traffic Department to establish those rules and requirements. Its refusal to license a vehicle whose steering wheel is on the right-hand side - 517 - Administrative rather than the left, contrary to prevailing practice and safety requirements. No violation of the law. Its previous issuance of a temporary licence for that vehicle. Does not confer a right to its licensing. The reason for this. A violation of the law does not confer a right or justify persisting in the violation.
