The Abu Dhabi Police and the Emirates Driving Company (EDC) have launched a new initiative, where learner drivers are undergoing rigorous training in a simulator to cope with inclement weather conditions. The move aims to further improve road safety in the country's largest emirate. The simulators were introduced to help learner drivers understand how to behave during challenging weather conditions and avoid serious accidents.

Simulator sessions include normal driving in two-way traffic, driving inside city limits alongside other road users, in rural areas, on highways etc.
