Despite the best efforts of local authorities, distracted drivers continue to be a major concern on the roads of the UAE. We've all seen drivers - many of them young - happily texting, using social media or chattering away, oblivious to the dangers they are causing to themselves and others on the roads. Far too often, doing so results in accidents, injuries, and tragic deaths.
According to statistics from Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), texting while driving makes one 23 times more likely to be involved in an accident, and reduces the reaction time of drivers by 50 per cent.
How to ensure safety behind wheels Road Safety UAE recommends that the following steps be taken to ensure safety behind the wheel: > Before you enter your car, put your mobile on silent and stow it in a safe place > If you have to make a call by driving, let any passengers take or make the call > Make sure that you use 'hands-free' systems if calling if absolutely necessary > The best option is to call back when finished, or to take a break from driving for the call > It should be noted, however, that using a hands free device is a source of distraction > Under no circumstances type out a text message or use an Internet browser while driving > Take particular care and drive defensively if you drive in close proximity to a driver using his or her mobile device |
