Dh1,000 fine in UAE: Police use CGI to show dangers of wrong overtaking

Abu Dhabi Police

The Abu Dhabi Police recently released a CGI animation to illustrate the dangers of wrong overtaking on road shoulders. They emphasized that this reckless behavior, punishable by a Dh1,000 fine and six black points, can lead to serious collisions and jeopardize lives. The video shows a red 4WD dangerously weaving through traffic, resulting in a collision with a parked car on the road shoulder. This serves as a reminder that road shoulders are designated for emergencies and emergency vehicles, not for overtaking. It's crucial for drivers to respect traffic laws and prioritize safety on the road.
