UAE: Drivers overtaking on emergency lane face Dh1,000 fine
The Abu Dhabi Police on Friday shared a video showing motorists illegally overtaking using the emergency lane.
The offense carries a fine of Dh1,000 and six black points, according to Article No. 42 of the Federal Road and Traffic Law.
Police affirmed that using the emergency shoulder to overtake other vehicles was dangerous as it could hinder the movement of emergency vehicles, potentially preventing them from reaching accident sites on time and costing lives.
