Abu Dhabi Police are calling on all drivers to give way to emergency vehicles to enhance the speed of response time to accidents. 

In a reminder posted on their official social media handles, the police warned that impeding their movement could reduce response times, especially when assisting those in need or extinguishing fires. 

Violators will be hit with a fine of up to AED 3,000, their vehicle impound for 30 days and 6 black points.
