They cautioned that driving in such a manner can put others at risk and are among the leading causes of serious traffic accidents. The authority warned that this is punishable by law and can bring a fine of up to Dh1,000 and 4 black points.
The police shared multiple videos of cars swerving into another lane. In the first clip, a lorry crashes into a barricade after a car swerves into another lane, causing the mini truck in between the lorry and the car to brake hard.
