Video footage shows a driver performing dangerous manoeuvres and risking the lives of other motorists in Abu Dhabi.
Abu Dhabi Police, in co-operation with the Follow-up and Control Centre in the emirate, posted the video on its social media pages on Friday and invited the public to comment.
The footage shows the driver reversing a red SUV on a motorway before crossing three lanes of traffic to take an exit.
Several other clips previously posted online by Abu Dhabi Police revealed the dangers of breaking traffic and safety rules, with some traffic accidents resulting in loss of life and property.
Abu Dhabi Police caught dozens of motorists who failed to give way to emergency vehicles last year.
Police issued 126 fines to drivers who held up ambulances, police cars, civil defence vehicles and official motorcades.
Those caught can be fined Dh3,000 ($817), receive six black points on their licence and have their vehicle impounded for 30 days.

The more serious side of specialty coffee
While the taste of beans and freshness of roast is paramount to the specialty coffee scene, so is sustainability and workers’ rights.
The bulk of genuine specialty coffee companies aim to improve on these elements in every stage of production via direct relationships with farmers. For instance, Mokha 1450 on Al Wasl Road strives to work predominantly with women-owned and -operated coffee organisations, including female farmers in the Sabree mountains of Yemen.
Because, as the boutique’s owner, Garfield Kerr, points out: “women represent over 90 per cent of the coffee value chain, but are woefully underrepresented in less than 10 per cent of ownership and management throughout the global coffee industry.”
One of the UAE’s largest suppliers of green (meaning not-yet-roasted) beans, Raw Coffee, is a founding member of the Partnership of Gender Equity, which aims to empower female coffee farmers and harvesters.
Also, globally, many companies have found the perfect way to recycle old coffee grounds: they create the perfect fertile soil in which to grow mushrooms.
