A videograb shows a motorist throwing a garbage bag on the road in Abu Dhabi.

Rules are always made to make people realise their social responsibilities and contribute through their vital role to keep others safe from any unfortunate incidents (“Dhs1,000 fine along with 6 black points for throwing waste from vehicles in Abu Dhabi,” Aug.4, Gulf Today website).

According to the report, the Abu Dhabi Police General Command, in cooperation with the Follow-up and Control Center, urged the public, especially drivers and road users, to be aware of the importance of preserving the bright, civilised appearance of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi by avoiding throwing waste from vehicles on the road while driving.

Everyone in the country has to follow the rules and regulations implemented by the Roads and Transport authority to avoid unnecessary fines and ill-fated incidents.  Abu Dhabi Police General Command wants drivers to enjoy their journey with their friends and family by showing responsibility and avoid throwing waste from vehicles otherwise they will be dealt with according to the traffic laws of the country. I am sure people will pay attention to the informative report published in the newspaper by the Abu Dhabi Police.
