Colonel Ahmed Khadim Al Qubaisi, Deputy Director of Abu Dhabi Traffic Department added: “The core focus of this campaign centers around promoting public awareness on road safety and the importance of complying with the traffic laws and regulations of Abu Dhabi Police.

“This aligns with our steadfast commitment to ensure the safety and security of all individuals by continually devising and implementing effective strategies, plans, and informative lectures. Furthermore, it is important to educate drivers and leverage social media platforms to raise awareness about the significance of conducting routine and comprehensive maintenance checks on vehicles prior to their usage on roads.”

Al Qubaisi stated that the Traffic and Patrols Directorate of the Abu Dhabi Police recently hosted an insightful awareness session titled ” Your Vehicle Safety is Your Safety “.

This highly informative session was carried out as part of the ongoing “Your Vehicle Safety is Your Safety” campaign, with an emphasis on three key areas, including mechanical breakdowns during the summer season. The session delved into the numerous factors leading to tire damage, including issues like bulges, lack or excess of air, and provided valuable insights on selecting the right tire for optimal performance.

Additionally, the session covered practical aspects related to automobiles, including essential tasks like oil inspection and electrical wire checks. It extensively examined the root causes of summertime accidents, categorising them into three factors: driver-related, road-related, and vehicle-related issues.

Furthermore, the session aimed to support drivers in effectively planning long-distance journeys by providing a comprehensive set of recommendations. These included ensuring thorough vehicle maintenance prior to the trip, adhering to load specifications and traffic regulations in neighboring countries, wearing seat belts, and avoiding continuous driving for more than 12 hours without adequate rest.
