Abu Dhabi Police urge drivers to move vehicles off the road after minor accidents

Abu Dhabi: The movement of off-road vehicles in minor traffic accidents does not affect the determination of liability. This reminder by Abu Dhabi Police is part of the campaign to promote safe driving manners.


Drivers who fail to move their vehicles off the road after a minor accident will be fined 500 dirhams.


Refusal to move vehicles in minor accidents has led to subsequent serious accidents that could have been avoided if the road had been kept open, the police noted.


To simplify the process of reporting minor accidents, the police has introduced the Saeed application.


The program's process is designed to review minor accident reports within three minutes if drivers have the necessary documents.


To report an accident through the Saeed application, users must select the accident report service, enter a phone number to identify their location, specify the type of accident, upload pictures of their car ownership and driver's license, and provide a photo of the damage. . Drivers must also verify all information entered, add the vehicles involved and complete a request for a reference number.


"Safety Path"

Educating drivers on "moving off the road in minor accidents" is a key theme of the recently launched "Safety Lane" traffic campaign, which also emphasizes avoiding dangerous road behaviors such as distracted driving, sudden lane changes and speeding.


Police advise motorists involved in minor accidents in Abu Dhabi, whether at fault or not, to notify the relevant authorities using the Saaed app and move their vehicles to the nearest safe place and wait for assistance from the centre—command and control of Abu Dhabi Police.
