Video: Reckless driver arrested for breaking 3 traffic rules

File Picture

A driver has been arrested in Abu Dhabi for breaking three traffic rules and endangering the lives of others.

Video footage, posted on the Abu Dhabi Police's social media handles, shows the motorist overtaking from the wrong lane, driving over the hard shoulder, and not maintaining a safe distance from other cars.

The authority said his actions could have distracted other drivers, thus endangering their lives.  

They urged drivers to follow lane discipline while overtaking and to restrain from using the hard shoulders unless for emergencies.

The hard shoulders, they added, are reserved for emergency vehicles so they can access accident sites without any delay.
