Abu Dhabi Police

In the UAE, police authorities have asked slow drivers to move out of the fast lane on the roads. Usually, motorists use the left lane on a highway for driving at the highest permissible limit on the road. 

Abu Dhabi Police advised the rule with a vehicle on the road with a speed limit of 140 mph through an animated video posted on their social media channels. The police said in the awareness video, ” Do not drive slowly in the left lane; keep on the right lane when moving slowly and give way to vehicles coming from behind. “

Why you must keep fast lanes free

According to the force, the Dubai Police had earlier explained that the fast lanes should be kept free unless you overtake another vehicle, as its use is limited to overtaking and emergency vehicles. 

The Dubai Police also advised to ” always drive on the right side to ensure smooth traffic on the highway. “

Also, the Awareness group Road Safety UAE advised motorists on highways to” keep to the right and allow faster cars to use the lanes.”
