2. Hello To Saaed Smart, Abu Dhabi Police’s Smart Solution For Minor Accidents

Motorists in Abu Dhabi, rejoice! The General Command of Abu Dhabi Police and Saaed Traffic Systems Company have a nifty new tool for you. They’ve rolled out the Saaed Smart application, which goes live on August 1. This app lets drivers report minor accidents without dialling the emergency number 999.

The police emphasized the need to move involved vehicles to a safe spot to prevent traffic obstruction. Failing to do so isn’t just annoying; it’s a traffic violation with a Dh1,000 fine and six black points. So, next time you have a fender bender, whip out your phone and use Saaed Smart to keep things moving smoothly.
