The video is part of a campaign that urges motorists to give way to emergency and overtaking vehicles on the fast lane.

As per the Ministerial Resolution No. (179) of 2017 on the Rules and Procedures for Traffic Control, police officers can issue a Dh400 penalty and 4 black points against motorists who fail to give way to vehicles coming from the back or the left side of the road.
