Central bank gold purchases could continue to support the precious metal to a certain extent, expert says
Sunday's accident is one of the many that have been reported on Dubai's roads. Speeding and tailgating are the main causes highway tragedies, according to Dubai Police, who say younger drivers are causing the most damage. Patience is in short supply and awareness campaigns do not seem to be reaching the targeted audiences, or motorists are simply unwilling to pay heed in their quest to stay ahead of the pack.
Traffic officials say 16,300 offences are committed on the country's roads daily. In the first 10 months of last year, the Ministry of Interior recorded 4.9 million violations, most of them caused by speeding (84 per cent). Many drivers make do without seatbelts. There were 118,637 recorded cases last year. Illegal overtaking and jumping red lights are other common offences. More speed radars are being installed on the highways, but motorists simply pay the fines and speed on. They flash cash to power their fast drives, but are flirting with death. Late nights and early mornings are more dangerous as drivers in muscle cars feel empowered. The law should crack down on these demon drivers and repeat offenders must be kept off the roads. Their licences should be withdrawn. Police patrols must be stepped up. We cannot afford to lose people to this insanity called speed.
