The UAE is offering motorists to remove four black points from their driving licence in return for supporting Accident-Free Day.
The Ministry of Interior (MOI), represented by the Federal Traffic Council and the General Command of Police, will launch a national awareness campaign titled Accident-Free Day on August 26, coinciding with the start of the new school year.
The campaign aims to ensure a traffic accident-free first day of school.
Accident-Free Day in the UAE
To encourage participation, those who commit to the Accident-Free Day campaign can benefit from a reduction of four black traffic points.
To qualify for this discount, participants must sign the initiative’s pledge, and must refrain from any traffic violations or accidents on the designated day.
The discount will be applied two weeks after August 26, as an incentive to promote adherence to traffic safety year-round.
Brigadier Engineer Hussein Ahmed Al Harithi, Chairman of the Federal Traffic Council, explained that the campaign is part of the Ministry’s broader strategy to enhance traffic safety and align with the UAE government’s vision for road safety.
He highlighted that the campaign seeks to promote a culture of responsible driving by educating motorists on key safety practices.
These include ensuring vehicle safety, adhering to speed limits near schools, avoiding distractions like mobile phones, following traffic lanes, maintaining safe distances, prioritising pedestrians, and giving way to emergency vehicles.
This collective effort is essential for creating a traffic environment free from accidents.
