On Friday, the authority took to social media to post a video of a motorist who was captured by security cameras in clear violation of traffic laws and jeopardising the lives of fellow drivers.


In the video, the motorist can be seen reversing on the hard shoulder of the road — reserved for emergencies and emergency vehicles — before sharply cutting across three lanes, against oncoming traffic, in order to take an exit.

The video was simply hashtagged "#YourComment".

Dangerous driving incidents caused 894 serious accidents that resulted in the deaths of 66 people in the Capital in 2019, police revealed last year.

Major traffic violations — which include irresponsible or reckless driving — can incur fines up to Dh50,000.
