The Abu Dhabi Police has launched a year-long campaign to raise awareness about different federal traffic laws among motorists to lessen road violations.

Motorists should also refrain from texting while driving or any forms of distractions or else, they have to pay Dh800 fine and earn four black points.
If the motorist’s vehicle is causing unnecessary noise because of its modified engine, they will have to pay a Dh2,000 fine and accumulate as many as 12 black points.
