MPs are set to take a decisive vote on a tough legislation to penalise people misusing emergency lanes, with jail time of no less than six months, a fine of between BD2,000 and BD6,000, or both, recommended for violators.
The proposal to amend the 2014 Traffic Law has been submitted by five legislators led by Abdulla Al Romaihi, who claims that the move, if implemented, would improve road safety and ensure smooth emergency response operations across the country .
