The road shoulder is reserved for vehicle emergencies. It also serves as the fast lane for ambulances and authorities rushing to save lives at accident sites, the police said.
Using it for overtaking is a serious offence that could lead to major collisions and endanger people's lives.
In the video, the Abu Dhabi Police showed a red 4WD weaving in and out of traffic — overtaking one vehicle after another.
Then, at one point, while trying to overtake a white SUV, it blindly swerved to the hard shoulder — not noticing the car parked on the lane with its hazard lights on, indicating some trouble.
The 4WD crashed into the car, leaving its hood and bumper smashed:
Overtaking on the shoulder is a major traffic violation punishable by a Dh1,000 fine and six black points, based on Article 42 of the federal traffic law.
