Dubai: Five points to remember to escape fine while driving in fast line

 Driving along the complicated roads of Dubai is thrilling and risky. If you want to avoid accidents or fines in fast line , you must know these five vital points : 

1. Don't forget to give way 

The fast lane is designed for overtaking, not for cruising. You must keep the fast lane free unless you are overtaking another vehicle. Refusing to give way in the fast lane is illegal and can lead to fines and penalties. So, once you’ve overtaken, move back to the lane on the right.

2. Adhere to the second lane

After using the fast lane for overtaking, you should  return to the second lane. This practice helps to keep the fast lane clear for other drivers who may need to overtake. Consistently sticking to the second lane helps maintain smooth traffic flow and reduces the risk of accidents.

3. Make way if needed and while you are within the speed limit

If a faster vehicle approaches you from behind, make way even if you are driving within the speed limit. Failure to give priority to vehicles coming from behind can result in a fine of Dh400 and four black points on your driving record. It’s essential to be courteous and allow faster vehicles to pass.

4. Avoid tailgating

Tailgating is dangerous and illegal. If the driver in front of you doesn’t make way, maintain a safe distance instead of tailgating. Tailgating not only increases the risk of accidents but also attracts a Dh400 traffic fine. Always keep a safe distance between your vehicle and the one in front to ensure enough reaction time.

5. Give priority to emergency vehicles

Emergency vehicles always have priority in the fast lane. Whether it’s an ambulance, fire truck, or police car, make way immediately for these vehicles. The fast lane should remain clear for overtaking and for emergency vehicles to ensure they can respond to emergencies promptly. Driving in Dubai’s fast lane requires awareness and adherence to specific rules to ensure safety and avoid fines. Remember, the fast lane is primarily for overtaking and should be kept free when not in use.
