The Hazardous Weather And Driving Conditions Caused 144 Road Accidents This Morning
144 incidences were reported from 6 am – 10 am this morning
Anyone driving to work early this morning will know just how bad the fog really was. Yes, Instagram gets inundated with hundreds of foggy skyline posts, but the reality of it is that the fog is a hazardous weather condition that leads to messy driving and today was no different.
Dubai police are cautioning drivers to take care
Major Mohamed Juma Aman Acting, Director of Command Room of the Dubai Police has advised motorists to take preventative measures to avoid accidents: check media before leaving home to avoid areas where a collision has taken place and allow enough time for your journey, if you get caught in traffic, speeding won’t be necessary. Change lanes only when necessary and leave enough space between you and the car in front of you.
