Avoid this fine with this simple guide to reporting minor accidents in Abu Dhabi
Here’s a heads-up from Abu Dhabi Police: If you’re involved in a minor accident, move your car off the road ASAP or you could face an AED 1,000 fine and six black points on your license.
Yup, even a tiny bump can turn into a pricey problem.
Why the crackdown?
A viral video showed how easily minor accidents cause traffic jams, and the police are not having it.
