According to a recently released report by Traffic Coordination Directorate at the Ministry of Interior<\/strong>, 16 road deaths have been recorded during the first 15 days of Ramadan in different areas of the UAE. Traffic authorities in the UAE have made their best efforts to reduce the risk of road fatalities during Ramadan by launching road safety awareness campaigns and monitoring traffic situation with the help of advanced radars and cameras.<\/p>\n

The new report shows that road deaths have decreased in the first 15 days of Ramadan as compared to last year, however, 16 road deaths in 15 days is still an alarming number<\/strong>. According to the authorities, most of the fatal road accidents were caused by drivers\u2019 failure to comply with the traffic rules.<\/p>\n

Details of the Recently Released Traffic Report<\/h2>\n

The traffic stats of last few years clearly indicate that road accidents and road deaths increase during the month of Ramadan. In 2017, 26 road deaths were recorded in the first 15 days of Ramadan<\/strong>, which has decreased by 38% this year<\/strong>. During the first 15 days of Ramadan in 2018, as many as 111 major road accidents were recorded in the UAE <\/strong>in which 136 motorists were injured. Last year, 237 motorists were injured in dangerous road accidents<\/strong> during the first 15 days of Ramadan.<\/p>\n

Given below are the reasons pointed out by the authorities for fatal road accidents recorded during the first 15 days of Ramadan this year:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 38 accidents were caused by sudden lane changing<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • 16 accidents resulted from tailgating<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • 14 accidents were caused by distracted driving<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • 12 major accidents were caused by reckless driving behavior<\/a><\/strong><\/span> of motorists.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Authorities revealed that there were 31 more road accidents that were caused by other reasons. The above-mentioned figures clearly show that motorists failed to follow traffic rules and couldn\u2019t maintain discipline on the road, which proved dangerous. Authorities have highlighted that distracted driving is one of the major reasons behind dangerous road accidents<\/strong> in Ramadan<\/strong>. Distracted driving can be caused by drowsiness felt by fasting motorists due to low blood sugar levels and dehydration, which is why it is important for motorists to sleep well and avoid driving when they feel too tired<\/em>.<\/p>\n
