A negligent motorist changed lanes without noticing traffic on a major highway, got hit by truck in Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi Police shared the video of the incident.

The police, in cooperation with the Follow-up and Control Center and within the "You Comment" initiative, broadcast the video of an accident to educate motorists and road users.

The video showed an SUV changing lanes from fast track (left lane) to the extreme right lane making the traffic to slow down.

As the SUV entered the right lane, a truck hit the vehicle causing it to overturn.

The Traffic and Patrols Directorate of Abu Dhabi Police called on drivers to avoid sudden deviation, to avoid overtaking other vehicles in a wrong way, to ensure that the road is clear in the event of overtaking or moving to the other lane, and not to move between lanes in a reckless manner that puts the driver at risk, and to ensure that you use the correct lane in the event of moving to another way.

The police said that such acts attract heft traffic fines and black points.
