Maryam Pervez -

The Ministry of Interior (MOI), through the Federal Traffic Council and the General Command of Police, is launching a national awareness campaign titled "Accident-Free Day" on August 26th, coinciding with the start of the new school year. The campaign's goal is to ensure a traffic accident-free first day of school.

Participants who commit to the "Accident-Free Day" initiative can benefit from a reduction of four black traffic points. To qualify, they must sign the pledge available at MOI Pledge Link or through the Ministry of Interior's social media bio (MOIUAE) and avoid any traffic violations or accidents on the designated day.

The discount will be applied two weeks after August 26th, serving as an incentive to promote ongoing traffic safety throughout the year.

Brigadier Engineer Hussein Ahmed Al Harithi, Chairman of the Federal Traffic Council, emphasized that this campaign is part of the Ministry's broader strategy to enhance traffic safety, in line with the UAE government's vision for safer roads.

The campaign aims to foster a culture of responsible driving by educating motorists on essential safety practices, such as vehicle safety checks, adhering to speed limits near schools, avoiding distractions like mobile phones, following traffic lanes, maintaining safe distances, prioritizing pedestrians, and giving way to emergency vehicles.

This collective effort is crucial for creating a traffic environment free from accidents.
