The Traffic and Patrols Directorate at the Abu Dhabi Police called upon drivers to be cautious when driving in changing weather conditions that may cause low visibility in some areas due to fog in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The directorate also encouraged drivers to pay more attention while driving in the rain, and to refrain from breaking suddenly – as this may cause the vehicle to slide due to the decreased efficiency of the brakes on wet surfaces

Lt. Colonel Jamal Salem Al Ameri, Chief of Public Relations Section at the Traffic and Patrols Directorate, Abu Dhabi Police, recommended that drivers follow the weather forecasts in order to be prepared to drive in any weather condition. He emphasized the importance of leaving safe and sufficient space between vehicles, to avoid overtaking other vehicles, and to drive at an appropriate speed that is suitable for the surrounding conditions.
