Detailed FAQ on the rental process
The places, where roads merge, usually have well-organized road markings. At such sites, dividing lanes are marked with cones or special columns that are securely fixed. In some merging sites concrete barriers are used instead of dividing markings. This fact minimizes the risk of passing difficult parts of the road.
There is a strict minimum speed limit on the highways in the UAE, which is 60 km/h. Driving with the speed slower than the indicated one is also considered a serious violation, not to mention the fact that slow drivers irritate other drivers on the road.
If the cars behind you start honking and flashing with high beams, this means they ask you to give way. Experienced motorists recommend driving the way other cars do, avoiding serious speeding. Thanks to skills and experience of local drivers, it is usually not difficult to drive in the UAE. Simply watch other cars carefully and follow their driving pattern.
