Lane violations caused as many as 107 accidents on Dubai's roads over the past eight months.

The authority added that 529,735 lane violations were recorded by smart traffic monitoring systems and radars between January and August.

"Drivers were observed making sudden lane changes, especially near intersections or exits on highways," said Major General Saif Muhair Al Mazrouei, Director of the General Department of Traffic.
