 Dubai Police Joins GCC Traffic Week 2024 to Raise Awareness Against Using Mobile Phones while Driving

 

Brigadier Juma Salem bin Suwaidan, Acting Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police, confirmed that the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) Traffic Week 2024, under the theme "Driving Without a Phone," aims to enhance the spread of traffic culture, establish proper traffic behaviour, and unify efforts towards creating a community culture covering various aspects of traffic safety, serving the vision of police leadership in achieving the desired goals.

 

He mentioned that GCC Traffic Week is an opportunity to exchange information and experiences with participants, highlighting that the presence of common traffic phenomena is due to similar conditions, which makes it a shared responsibility to raise awareness, address road dangers, prepare plans and programs, and benefit from diverse experiences in making benchmark comparisons, sharing successful experiences, and learning from them.

 

Brigadier Juma bin Suwaidan reported that Dubai Police have prepared several programs and activities during the GCC Traffic Week for 2024 under the theme "Driving Without a Phone." This includes organising awareness lectures in government departments, educational institutions, and companies, scheduling field visits to offer advice to road users, in addition to the regulatory aspect, and utilising various social media platforms to spread the objectives and goals of Traffic Week.

 

Brigadier Juma bin Suwaidan highlighted that being distracted by a phone while driving is one of the dangerous violations that endanger the lives of road users. He pointed out that using a phone while driving diverts the driver's attention and doubles the likelihood of accidents, as it impairs a significant portion of the vital functions necessary for safe driving.

 

"The ability of a person to react quickly to avoid impending danger decreases especially when using the phone, browsing social media or texting," Brigadier Juma bin Suwaidan noted.

 

He emphasised that this violation is behind severe traffic accidents, noting that many drivers do not realise that being distracted by a phone while driving poses a threat to their lives and the lives of others, as a few seconds of inattention can lead to an accident that costs the driver and innocent others dearly.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
