Almost learned this the hard way on Emirates Road

[Keith Bowen]

I had a moment of panic last week driving back from Abu Dhabi. My fuel light came on and I realized I had no idea when the next petrol station would appear. It got me thinking about what I would actually do if the car just stopped, especially on a highway in this heat. When I got home, I did some research and found a really detailed guide about roadside help for fuel shortages. I had no idea that there are dedicated services that will bring fuel directly to you. The guide explains the exact safety steps you need to take, like turning on hazard lights immediately, positioning your car safely, and placing warning triangles at the correct distance to avoid a fine. It also covers how to request delivery and what information you need to provide. Really useful stuff that every driver here should know.
