Watch: UAE drivers gifted TV sets for 3-year record of zero traffic fines

Thirty drivers in Al Ain recently received some surprise gifts from the Abu Dhabi Police for following all traffic rules. Over a period of three years, they haven't gotten a single traffic fine — not even a parking penalty.

The Abu Dhabi Police Happiness Patrol hit the roads and spotted the drivers who they found had clean traffic records. Earlier this month, the patrols carried out a similar mission.

In this video, the police are seen speaking to the drivers and surprising them with TVs:

Col Matar Abdullah Al Muhairi, director of Al Ain Traffic Department, said the Ya Hafez initiative comes as part of the authorities' efforts to motivate good drivers and promote positive behaviours that can help make roads safer.

Col Al Muhairi congratulated them for keeping their records clean for three years.
