The Abu Dhabi Police have warned drivers that they might face a fine of AED800 and four traffic penalty points if they are caught driving while distracted.
The Directorate of Traffic and Patrols asked drivers to "commit to traffic safety rules" by avoiding participating in activities while driving to avoid abrupt halting of cars without notice on the roads and during the flow of traffic on internal and external roads and to constantly pay attention to road surprises. This was done in an effort to prevent sudden stopping of vehicles without warning on the roads and during the flow of traffic.
