Abu Dhabi Police

Children under the age of 10 or less than 145cm in height should not be seated in a car's front seat.

That's the word from the Abu Dhabi Police, who reminded parents and caretakers of the safety risks involved if they are not buckled in the backseats.  

Launching a car safety campaign, officials reiterated that drivers who ignore the rule will be slammed with AED 400 in fine.
