Avoid Close Driving with Other Vehicles on the Road

There are many rules of driving a car and the most common rule is as follows: When you are following another vehicle on the road or when you are going to overtake a vehicle, as far as possible maintain a safe distance between your own and the vehicle that is being driven in front of you. The practice of crowding is very dangerous because it can give rise to accidents like hitting, running away, sudden braking in order to avoid collision with other vehicles, generally known by such terms as “cut” or “overlapping” “tailgating” “off roading” and “overtaking.“

Excessive speeding is also termed as one of the most serious offenses as per the traffic laws mentioned under the Section 1 (1) 18.1 of UAE Traffic Law.

Don’t Switch Off Your Car’s Headlights
