The UAE is mostly subjected to road accidents due to the incautious driving behavior of motorists. Despite conducting several road safety campaigns and awareness seminars, motorists in the UAE are continuously found committing traffic violations. There were nine severe accidents recorded in Ras Al Khaimah during Eid Al Adha Holidays.
According to Brigadier Hassan Ebraheim Ali (the deputy director general of the central operations room at Ras Al Khaimah Police), various emergency calls were received by the police during Eid holidays. He further told that there were 9 serious accidents, 346 minor cases and 10 medical emergency cases were reported.

Emergency helpline In case of Accident
The motorists should be aware of the emergency helpline and in case of accident; they should urgently make a call at this number. Brigadier Hassan Ebraheim Ali stressed on the need of emergency helpline and urged commuters to dial 999 in case of emergencies. However, he requested the public to dial this number only in case of emergency and don’t call to get information and ask other questions.
Drive Carefully to Remain Safe
The motorists need to drive carefully and should follow the traffic rules. You must show responsibility while driving and consider safety of every road user. Taking some rest before driving is better and you won’t feel sleepy during driving. You should also keep yourself away from all distracting things such as mobile phones, drugs and unnecessary conversation while driving. It should be noticed that not paying proper attention while driving leads to accident.
