Abu Dhabi: Police have called on motorists driving in the fast lane to proceed with caution, as driving slower than other road users can lead to accidents.

On Thursday, Abu Dhabi Police publish a traffic safety message on its social media accounts, advising motorists to keep to the lane on the right.

Police also cautioned road users to follow the speed limit and to abide by traffic rules in an effort to maintain and preserve the public’s safety.

Lane discipline

On highways with multiple lanes, keep to the right and allow faster cars to use the lanes left of you. If you notice that cars have to overtake you on your right side, move to a slower lane to the right of you.
