Colonel Ghaith Al Za'abi, Director of the Traffic and Patrols Department at the Abu Dhabi General Police Directorate, said these incidents took place primarily because the drivers involved did not adhere to the traffic rules. Their violations included not giving the right of way to other motorists, jumping the red light, and not maintaining an adequate distance in relation to the motor vehicles ahead.
