Driving in the rain?
Here are a couple of things to keep in mind to avoid being slapped with a fine:
-
Hazard lights should not be used while driving, even in rain. They make it hard for other drivers to know if you are braking or changing lanes. Hazard lights are only for when you are stopped or broken down. Using them while driving can lead to a Dhs500 fine and 4 black points.
-
Taking photos or videos of the rain while driving is dangerous and can earn you a Dhs800 fine and 4 black points.
-
Do not block the path of police, ambulances, or rescue teams, especially during rainy conditions. The fine is Dhs1,000 with 4 black points, and your vehicle can be impounded for 60 days.
-
Temporary speed limits will appear on electronic signs and official updates and must be followed. Driving 20 km/h over the limit: Dhs300 fine an driving more than 80 km/h over the limit: Dhs3,000 fine, 23 black points, and a 60-day vehicle impoundment
-
Always use your indicator, especially in low-visibility conditions caused by rain. Not signalling can lead to a Dhs400 fine.
