VIDEO: Abu Dhabi launches car 'digital stickers' to enhance road safety

Supplied

Abu Dhabi Police have introduced special 'digital stickers' to encourage drivers to follow the rules.

While entering the capital, patrol officers at security points will place these tags on the vehicles.

And, once the drivers scan the barcode on the sticker, they can view a road safety video.

It'll highlight the importance of giving way to pedestrians at crossings, leaving a safe distance between cars, and ensuring children below 10 are always buckled up and seated in the backseat.

Every week, a new topic will be introduced in a bid to raise awareness about road safety and good driving etiquette.
