Two reckless drivers, captured on Abu Dhabi's road cameras, recently caused accidents that could have been avoided if they had stayed in their lanes. The Abu Dhabi Police shared clips of the incidents on Saturday, emphasizing the danger of sudden lane deviations.
In one clip, around the 23-second mark, a black car is seen speeding and abruptly swerving from its lane. The driver narrowly avoided a collision with a nearby minivan and a white car in the opposite lane. However, its high speed sent it crashing through the road barriers, causing it to overturn multiple times.
In the same video, a white car is also observed crossing road markings, failing to notice a van that was moving on the fourth lane. The van then crashed into the sedan, forcing it to veer off and hit the gutter before bouncing back in its place.
The Abu Dhabi Police urged motorists to avoid sudden deviation and overtaking unless they have ensured that the road is clear. Sudden deviation is a serious traffic offence punishable by a Dh1,000 fine and four black points, while the penalty for wrong overtaking starts at Dh600 and can go as high as Dh1,000, depending on the offence.
