Dangerous reversing on UAE roads carries Dh500 fine, four black points

Abu Dhabi Police, in cooperation with the Monitoring and Control Centre, have released footage of traffic accidents caused by motorists reversing dangerously on roads to raise awareness of the risks this behaviour poses to road users. The Traffic and Security Patrols Directorate warned against reversing vehicles, particularly after missing exits or diversions. Police said sudden stops and reversing on roads could confuse motorists approaching from behind and lead to serious collisions, injuries, and property damage. The directorate urged motorists who miss an exit to continue driving and use the next exit to reach their destination safely, rather than attempt to reverse.
