Our retelling · details in the original publication
The Ministry of Interior has launched the annual "Accident-Free Day" campaign to enhance road safety across the UAE. The initiative targets the first day of the new academic year, when traffic congestion peaks around schools. Authorities aim to reduce accidents by encouraging motorists to adopt safer driving habits through a tangible incentive.
Drivers can remove four black points from their traffic records by participating in this program. Registration opens on August 17, requiring individuals to sign a safety pledge. This commitment confirms the driver's intention to follow all traffic regulations strictly.
The campaign takes effect on August 31, coinciding with the return of students to schools. On this day, participants must drive with extra caution, especially in school zones and near pedestrian crossings. The Federal Traffic Council coordinates the effort with local police forces to ensure smooth traffic flow.
This is a practical chance for expats and residents to clear minor violations from their license without attending courses. It serves as a reminder that responsible driving benefits the entire community during busy periods.
Any traffic violation detected on August 31 will disqualify the participant from receiving the point reduction. Make sure to sign up before the deadline and maintain a clean driving record on the specified date. Details in original publication.
