Video: Abu Dhabi Police warn of Dh400 fine as car entering road causes vehicle to topple

Abu Dhabi Police have shared a video exemplifying why it is important to follow these rules while driving. On Friday, they posted the video of an accident caused by entering the road without ensuring it was clear of vehicles.
