Go to the new traffic department in madinat khalifa (opposite the old one) as soon as you grt in you'll a round table with 2 - 4 officers handing numbers. Tell then you came here for an offense dispute and will direct you to the right people, the offense dispute section is on the far right but make sure you get your number first

I hope you can escape the ticket. The cameras at the junction will have a video of everything, so if you are telling the truth they can check.

I would never go through a red light even if there is an ambulance coming, just drive your car as far as you can to the side to make way.

And again... giving way to ambulance is an obligation not a choice.. so everyone should give way regardless how you feel about it... cause you can be fined more than 6k for refusal to yield.. at the same time using ambulance to get ahead in traffic is not acceptable.. and when requested to give way you have to go sideways... not forward... so you are going to have a hard time proving you had no other choice.. but it may be worth a try...

Hi William, Go to Traffic Dept, Try to meet the captain and explain to him about the situation. Also inform him to verify the same in CCTV Camera available in that Traffic signal. If what you say is true, they will surely clear the fine.

Dear AAfi,

Let it be Positive or negative Outcome ,Please don't think about not giving way to Ambulance. Its matter of life. I shared it only because its almost same as my salary, and its hard for me to afford!! Thanks for your reply.
