The Abu Dhabi Police have released a video warning about the dangers of reversing on busy roads. The footage shows accidents caused by drivers who recklessly reverse their vehicles, according to police. The Traffic and Security Patrols Directorate has issued a warning about the perils of reversing vehicles, particularly when passing exits or changing lanes.
They emphasized that sudden stopping and reversing on roads can confuse approaching drivers and result in hazardous collisions, leading to injuries and significant material losses.
Police advised motorists to continue driving if they miss their exit and not to attempt to reverse. Instead, they should use another exit to reach their destination safely. Violators caught reversing dangerously will face a fine of Dh500 ($136) and receive four black points on their driving record. Repeated offenses may result in a fine of Dh2,000, 23 black points, and a 60-day vehicle impoundment, as the police aim to ensure the safety of all road users.
