Sudden swerving of cars resulted in 15 deaths and 19 severe injuries over three months in Abu Dhabi.
The fatalities and injuries occurred in 86 accidents from January 1 to March 17.
Police also issued 1,653 fines over the same period.
Col Hamad Al Blooshi, director of the external traffic and roads section at Abu Dhabi Police Traffic and Patrols Directorate, urged road users to use indicators and make sure there is enough space between vehicles.
He highlighted the importance of making sure the lane is free, and looking over the shoulder to avoid any vehicle that may not be visible in the mirror’s blind spot.
Police are stepping up patrols and monitoring of roads by radar to clamp down on sudden swerving.
