Motorists in the UAE are being reminded of harsher penalties that will soon be enforced for not giving way to emergency vehicles.

Under the previous law, the penalty was AED 1,000 and six black points.

However from July 1, that's going to chance.

Captain Mohammed Al Eassai from Abu Dhabi Police explains.
