Moreover, they have also asked drivers to follow traffic rules and stay in the speed limit for the safety of road users as well as their own. Make sure you know<a href=\"http:\/\/65.1.85.58\/newsroom\/how-safely-merge-lanes-dubai\/\"> how to safely merge lanes<\/a> before you take your car into the UAE traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep to the right on the highways with multiple lanes and let faster cars drive in the left lanes. In case a car is trying to overtake you from the right side, shift to a slower lane to your right. Lane swerving can lead to tragic accidents. Here are a few things you can do to keep the lane discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Always keep your car in the center of the lane, and don\u2019t drive on the left or right side of your lane.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>As per Article 10.5, UAE Federal Traffic Law number 21, 1995, a driver is only allowed to pass other cars that are travelling in the same direction on the left. It is illegal to overtake other cars from the right.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use your indicator to signal lane changes and look carefully around you to change your lane safely.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>When stopping at a red signat, make sure you\u2019re on the same side of the road that you want to be on after the interchange.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>When moving to the traffic from the acceleration lane, give way to approaching traffic and don\u2019t bully your way in.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to follow these while driving your <a href=\"https:\/\/carswitch.com\/abudhabi\/used-cars\/search\">used cars Abu Dhabi<\/a>.
