Abu Dhabi Police have issued a strong reminder to motorists: failing to give way to faster vehicles in the fast lane or overtaking lane will cost you Dh400. As part of the "Darb Al Salama 2" traffic awareness campaign, police emphasized that slow driving in the overtaking lane poses serious safety risks and contributes to congestion and accidents. Motorists are advised to keep right if they are driving at low speeds and to only use the fast lane for overtaking. Drivers must also avoid overtaking from the right, which police say is a dangerous violation. “Failing to give way to vehicles with the right of way coming from behind or the left is punishable by a Dh400 fine,” the statement read. Authorities also reminded drivers to use turn signals before changing lanes and to ensure the road is clear, maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles to avoid collisions. ICA/Expat Media
