While the left lane is typically reserved for faster-moving vehicles, police clarified that this does not justify breaking speed limits. "A moment of recklessness can cost lives," the authorities wrote on X, reinforcing the message that safety must always come first, regardless of the lane or traffic conditions.

Residents are also reminded that traffic violations can be reported easily through the 'Police Eye' service on the Dubai Police app, empowering the community to play an active role in promoting road safety.

The UAE has strict rules and regulations in place to ensure the safety of its residents and tourists. One among those are the hefty fines on overspeeding.
