EMERGENCY CALL

The primary action to take is call 999 if you’re in a collision. No one is hurt and in case the injury is slight you need transfer your cars to the right or left side of the street to stop from obstructing the stream of traffic and to agree with all another motorist where the blame lies. You may be fined Dhs.100 for neglecting to do so even when the injury was not your mistake.

The injury is slight as well as if blame has been definitely determined, the 999 dispatcher may request that you drive yourself to the Traffic Police station that is closest to complete the paperwork that is required. The Dubai Police Advice Line (800 7777) gives the amounts of police stations across the emirate.

An officer will probably be dispatched to measure the injury and apportion blame, if blame cannot be determined without police intervention. Remember that garages scarcely repair vehicles.

Make sure you maintain your licence for you at all times. You may be given a grace period to present your licence in the police station; you risk having your vehicle impounded and confronting a court appearance, in the event that you don’t do so.

Then look on the damages which have happened if everyone is all right. The traffic cops will arrive and will assess the injury and certainly will fill out an injury form. One duplicate of the injury form will soon get to the permit of the person who was responsible for the injury is likely to be taken as well as both people in the injury.

In the event an injury was caused by you, then you definitely need to understand these points:-

1. As you might have insurance on your own car or truck, in the event another man asks you for cash to repair their vehicle, do not give any to them.
2. Nobody but the police has got the privilege to ask you for the driver’s license or auto registration.
