Abu Dhabi Police Warn Motorists Against Using Phones While Driving

Abu Dhabi Police are keeping it real with a bold reminder: keep your eyes on the road and your hands off your phone! Their latest campaign is all about making sure everyone gets home safe and sound, with a clear message that distracted driving is a big no-no.

Police warned drivers about phone use

The Abu Dhabi Police have been busy spreading the word with eye-catching visuals. One of their standout announcements uses a split-screen to show just how risky it is to be glued to your phone while driving. On one side, you see a driver totally focused on their phone, while the other side highlights the busy, unpredictable roads outside. The message? If you’re not paying attention, you might miss something important—or react too late!

Released footage showed real-life accidents

To really drive the point home, the police released actual footage of accidents at intersections. In one clip, a white SUV and a sedan collide after a driver tries to turn without looking, causing a dramatic crash. In another, a distracted driver misses the green light and gets rear-ended by the car behind. Both incidents are a wake-up call: even a quick glance at your phone can lead to chaos on the road.

Drivers were urged to stay alert

The campaign wraps up with some simple but crucial advice for all motorists.

1. Stay alert
2. Follow signs
3. Respect pedestrians
