The UAE traffic police have resorted to a trick to ensure drivers comply with regulations and reduce speed, according to Almarsd online newspaper.
Fake police imitation cars with beaming lights were placed at key locations on highways to force speedy drivers into slowing down.
An Emirati who shot the video recording said that he tightened his seat belt and slowed down instantly on seeing the flashing lights on top of the 'fake' cop car, believing that it was genuine one.
He later discovered the trick when he reached closer and found that it was only a police imitation car.
