Vehicles that veer suddenly on the roads will be imposed a fine of DH1000 and four traffic black points, as declared by the Abu Dhabi Police. Another penalty of DH400 will adhere to those who fail to follow the lane driving rules.

These penalties intend to make sure that everyone follows the road safety rules in order to prevent the risks of careless driving, which can lead to serious injuries and even deaths to pedestrians and other road users. Such sudden volatile movements can cause severe hazards: Warns Abu Dhabi Police.

Article 29 of the Federal Traffic Law specifies the penalties for abrupt swerving, whereas Article 86 specifies the penalties for not complying with lane driving.

The new warning was issued as part of the Road to Safety campaign by Abu Dhabi Police. A social media video clip reveals instances of unexpected swerving, especially on lengths of the road heading to a fork. The cars narrowly escaped colliding with other vehicles on the road while the incident was happening.

The Traffic and Patrols Directorate of the Abu Dhabi Police Department advised the motorists to stay in their lanes in order to safeguard themselves and other road users.

In case of any additional help from an insurer keeping in mind particular driving circumstances or conditions in the area that could influence your vehicle, you can always select an extra motor insurance policy.
