Why UAE is tightening safety rules for fuel and hazardous transport

Colonel Saif Mohammed Al Ameri, Director of the Traffic and Security Patrols Department in Al Dhafra, said the police are committed to strengthening fuel tanker drivers’ adherence to security and safety procedures during transit.

‘The transport of petroleum materials requires a high level of responsibility and attention, given the severe consequences that accidents may cause,’ Colonel Al Ameri stated. He urged drivers to comply with speed limits, maintain safe following distances, and avoid reckless manoeuvres on the road.
