Abu Dhabi: Police warn motorists against speeding

The Abu Dhabi Police has reminded motorists to refrain from speeding and to leave enough distance between vehicles to avoid accidents.

In a new awareness campaign on social media, Abu Dhabi Police has highlighted the dangers of driving at a high speed, stressing that it was the leading cause of road deaths.

“Speeding causes the most traffic deaths in the world, according to global statistics,” police said in an awareness video posted on Twitter.

“The higher the speed of the vehicle, the more difficult it is to control, which increases the risk of endangering the passengers. To avoid accidents, avoid rushing when driving.”

Police also urged motorists to observe the legal speed limit for each road and to leave sufficient distance between their vehicle and the car in front of them.

Drivers have also been warned against using mobile phones while behind the wheel to avoid getting distracted.

“The higher the speed, the longer the brake response time to stop the vehicle, and the longer the stopping time and distance, which leads to an increase in the force of the collision in case of an accident,” the force continued to say that great haste makes great waste.
