Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi Police, in cooperation with the Tracing and Control Centre, and as part of the “You Comment” initiative, has broadcast a video on the dangers of parking in the middle of the road or being preoccupied while driving.

Abu Dhabi Police Directorate of Traffic and Patrol warned drivers against the dangers of parking in the middle of the road for any reason and urged them to go to the nearest exit to ensure the safety of road users.
