Is driving in Dubai safe for expats?

Driving in Dubai is generally safe for expats, with a well-maintained road network and strict traffic laws. However, be prepared for aggressive driving habits; speeding fines can reach AED 3,000 if you're caught over the limit. In my five years living in Dubai, I’ve noticed that adhering to speed limits and using signals can greatly reduce the risk of accidents. Always remember to familiarize yourself with local driving rules to ensure a smoother experience.
