Police matched the driver’s speed and worked under serious pressure to ensure the man’s safety
Sharjah Police stayed in contact with the driver and issued him directions. They made sure his seatbelt and his hazard lights were on, while coordinating a safe path for a Police vehicle to match his speed.
As soon as they were travelling at the same speed, Police told the driver to lightly bump into the police car. The action of bumping a car would cease cruise control.
The operation was a success but Police have reminded drivers not to rely on cruise control.
Phew!
