The video is part of a traffic safety campaign called ‘Darb Al Salama’ to remind motorists to pay attention to traffic lights, keep an eye on the road and follow the traffic rules and regulations for their own safety and of other road users.
“The penalty for light vehicles jumping the red signal is Dh1.000 along with 12 black points, and the vehicle will be impounded for 30 days,” a police spokesman said.
Heavy vehicles face a Dh3.000 fine for the same violation, and a one-year suspension of their driving licence.
