A year without accidents, the incident is strange for any Arab who reads it, especially if he is one of the reckless youths, but it is in fact a solution or a punishment that deserves to be contemplated and admired, and we hope that it will be applied in order for it to be a lesson for those who want to learn and learn before it is too late, as the Australian police proceeded A few days ago, “a car of a young man who drove at an insane speed of 253 kilometers per hour was destroyed, on a road with a maximum speed of 110 kilometers per hour,” as if he wanted to embody the meaning of crazy driving, with the utmost recklessness and irresponsibility, and achieve one of the highest speeds ever discovered. On the roads of South Australia.
The young man, who did not exceed twenty years, and who committed many violations, today faces a seven-month prison sentence for threatening to endanger his life and the lives of others, while depriving him of his right to drive following his release from prison, and most importantly, they destroyed his car, which is worth regarding twenty thousand dollars. In full, in accordance with South Australian law, which provides for “the destruction or sale of cars of reckless drivers who cause catastrophic accidents … and sometimes the seized cars are sold at auction, with the price returned to the Accident Victims’ Compensation Fund or their families.
This incident coincides with the launch of the Federal Traffic Council, the national initiative “A Day Without Accidents”, with the start of the new academic year, in which those committed to participating in the initiative are rewarded with a deduction of four black traffic points.
The UAE’s initiatives are continuous, and through it it was able to reduce the number of deaths on the roads, as confirmed by the road safety statistics carried out by the Ministry of the Interior, as the number of deaths on the roads in 2022 decreased by regarding 10% compared to the year 2021, and the number reached 343 deaths compared to 381 cases. in 2021.
We still have accidents, and the situation still needs more awareness and efforts, as if a person refuses to submit to the safety laws in driving, no matter how much he witnesses or hears regarding unfortunate accidents that cause the death of pedestrians, drivers, or car riders, and no matter how much his heart is broken by stories that destroyed families or distorted people and changed the path their lives and may have stopped them from moving.
We need to discipline people’s behavior since childhood, and teach them the dangers of driving and the importance of abiding by its laws so that they can memorize them while they are in school, and repeat them to their ears and test them in a list of questions on an annual basis, before reaching the legal age that allows them to drive and take responsibility for themselves and others on the street.
“A Accident-Free Day” is a positive addition to the list of initiatives launched by the UAE every year to reduce accidents, especially in order to educate drivers, parents and students before the start of the school year, in the hope that it will be a year of peace in which no traffic accidents will be recorded.
