UAE Young Drivers Behavior towards Driving - Infographic

Jun 20, 2019     PitStopArabia

Recently, a research was conducted to investigate the attitudes and driving trends of the young population residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The research was undertaken on the backdrop of an increasing number of driving accidents in the UAE, which have led to the premature death of many individuals. As a result of the rising number of accidents, the Ministry of Interior has undertaken various awareness campaigns aimed to educate drivers to follow traffic rules and properly maintain their vehicles.

 

The present research into the driving behaviour and attitudes of young drivers have revealed some surprising yet unfortunate facts. For example, 71% of the young drivers are unaware of the recent laws related to seat belts in the UAE. Likewise, 42% of the drivers considered using seat belts as unnecessary while taking short trips. Overall, it shows the reckless behaviour of these young individuals. Not only are they endangering their own lives but also those of others around them.

Conclusion

 

After reading the infographic, by now you would have understood where the youth of the country is heading to. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the state, parents, civil society to impart awareness to these individuals about safe driving.

 

Hefty fines are not an effective way of encouraging young drivers to opt for safe and responsible driving. An alarming statistic is that 60% of accidents in Abu Dhabi in 2017 were caused due to non wearing of seat belt. Likewise, speeding was a key factor in 525 deaths.

Although individuals know about the dangers of not wearing a seat belt or speeding, they still ignore it. Therefore, the focus must be on schooling the individuals through awareness programs etc. to bring about a change in their mindset.
