Using mobile phones while driving could lead to a dangerous fallout, including traffic accidents and congestions, the police added.
It is also considered a violation, which could entail a fine of Dh800 and 4 black points
Apart from playing games and talking on the mobile while at the wheel, taking pictures or selfies, texting or putting on makeup are equally dangerous and distracting.
