Ever grabbed a quick McDonalds on the go and eaten it in the car? Or maybe touched up your blusher while you were driving to work…yeah, you have.<\/p>\n

Well, no more! Drivers caught\u00a0eating while driving will be fined up to AED\u00a01,000 and have 12 black points added to their record…oops!<\/p>\n

A new traffic law across the\u00a0UAE (as part of a police campaign to\u00a0reduce\u00a0accidents)\u00a0will enforce the no food or drink law as well as stopping and fining anyone caught\u00a0applying make-up, reading papers, or\u00a0using their\u00a0phone while driving. The exact fine will be determined by the police officer that stops you…so be nice!<\/p>\n

Major General Mohammed Saif Al Zafin, Assistant Police Commander-in-Chief for Operations in Dubai said: “All these offences will be classified under one offence involving failure by the drivers to concentrate on the road by getting busy with other things.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new law also involves impounding the offender\u2019s car if it is proved that the offence endangered human lives,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

So, breakfast and make-up done before you leave the house guys!<\/p>\n
