Dubai Police rescue driver as cruise control fails

In a swift and professional response, Dubai Police traffic patrols rescued a driver whose cruise control had malfunctioned while he was driving his vehicle on the Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Road towards Abu Dhabi.

- 

Specialised teams arrived at the scene within minutes of receiving the report, averting the risk of a serious traffic accident for the driver and other road users.

Brigadier Jumaa Salem Bin Suwaidan, Acting Director of the General Traffic Department at Dubai Police, explained that the operations room received a report indicating that the driver of a vehicle was incapable of controlling its speed due to a failure in the cruise control system.

Consequently, the vehicle continued to move without responding to the accelerator or brake pedals.

Traffic patrols had responded promptly to the reported location, where the vehicle was subsequently located and escorted in a precise and coordinated manner.
