UAE motorists offered four-point reduction for accident-free driving

## Initiative Details

The UAE Ministry of Interior has launched the "Day Without Accidents" campaign, scheduled for August 31, to coincide with the start of the school year. This initiative encourages drivers to adhere to traffic laws by offering a reduction of four traffic points for those who participate and meet the program's conditions.

## Registration and Participation

Motorists can register for the campaign starting August 17 through the Ministry's social media channels. Participants must pledge to follow traffic regulations and comply with the campaign's requirements to qualify for the traffic point reduction.

## Focus on School Safety

The campaign emphasizes safe driving around schools, where traffic is expected to increase. Drivers are urged to be patient, respect speed limits, and prioritize the safety of children and pedestrians.

## Safety Guidelines

Participants are advised to ensure their vehicles are roadworthy, avoid using mobile phones while driving, stay within lanes, maintain safe distances from other vehicles, and give priority to pedestrians at crossings.

## Long-term Goals

Brigadier Jumaa Salem Bin Suwaidan of Dubai Police highlighted the campaign's success in raising awareness and aims to make responsible driving a daily practice rather than a one-day event.
