The command and control room of the Dubai Police has also received 900 calls. Colonel Omer Al Shamsi called on all drivers and road users to be more careful during the unstable weather condition which lead to large number of traffic accidents.

In foggy conditions, all drivers should ensure that their windshields and lights were clear and that their signals were working before they began driving, he said, adding that enough distance should be left between vehicles and only change lanes when absolutely necessary. He urged the motorists to use windscreen wipers and remain cautious of other drivers in poor weather conditions. — news@khaleejtimes.com
