Major Faisal Rashid Al Dhanhani from the Traffic and Security Patrols Directorate said the emergency vehicles that road users must give way to include all types of police cars if they are using emergency lights because they are the first responders to reports and accidents of all kinds.
"The same applies to ambulances of all types and civil defence vehicles, as giving way to these vehicles contributes to saving lives," he added.
He explained that clearing the way for emergency vehicles contributes to the rapid intervention of concerned police authorities to provide emergency services to the injured and facilitate the work of paramedics in a way that contributes to their rescue in the timely and speedy manner possible.
Al Dhanhani called on everyone to help the authorities concerned and contribute to saving lives by giving way to emergency vehicles, noting that the aim is not to issue fines but to convey a message that giving way to emergency vehicles is essential.

Abu Dhabi Court Orders Woman to Repay Dh216,000 Loan After WhatsApp Evidence
The Abu Dhabi Court for Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases has ordered a woman to pay Dh216,000 plus legal interest to a man after finding she borrowed money but failed to settle the full amount. The man said he had lent the woman Dh390,000 in instalments over time, relying on their friendship when she faced financial difficulties after her trading accounts were closed. She repaid Dh102,000, leaving Dh288,000 unpaid despite repeated reminders. Although no written receipts were signed, the man presented WhatsApp messages in which the woman acknowledged owing money. In one exchange, she admitted to a debt of Dh312,000, while he claimed the figure was Dh318,000. The woman insisted she had only borrowed and repaid Dh102,000, but the court ruled the evidence supported the man's claim. Since both parties acknowledged the Dh102,000 repayment, the court concluded that Dh216,000 remained outstanding and ordered her to pay the amount plus interest.

Al Ain Court Orders Man to Repay Dh160,000 in Fake Investment Scheme
The Al Ain Civil, Commercial, and Administrative Cases Court has ruled against a man for duping another into a fraudulent investment, ordering him to repay Dh160,000 plus interest and legal costs. Court documents show the defendant convinced the plaintiff that he owned private companies and persuaded him to invest. Trusting the claims, the plaintiff handed over Dh150,000 in two instalments, supported by a signed receipt. However, the defendant failed to deliver on the investment, avoided communication, and later claimed the money had been lost. A court-appointed forensic accounting expert confirmed that the defendant acknowledged receiving the funds under an informal investment agreement but did not honour the partnership terms. The court ordered the defendant to repay the Dh150,000 principal, Dh20,000 in damages, and 12 per cent annual interest from the date of filing until full settlement, along with all court fees and expenses.
