This week, The Road Safety Awareness Campaign launched by AETOSWire, the news distribution arm of NSG and the exclusive representative of Business Wire, a Berkshire Hathaway company, in MENA region; and RoadSafetyUAE, an initiative that aims to bring about safety to roads in the region, turn their attention to encouraging drivers to change their bad driving habits starting this Ramadan.<\/p>\n
Two weeks into the initiative, the campaign focused on the importance of self-awareness and self-control while fasting and time-management in preventing accidents on the road. Carrying the hashtag #HappyNotHastyRamadan, the campaign has already garnered attention and engaged various sectors from the public. It hopes to reach and engage more people during the third week of Ramadan. <\/p>\n
\u201cStatistics show that 45% of UAE motorists speed out of habit,\u201d Thomas Edelmann, RoadSafetyUAE Founder and Managing Director, shared. \u201cBased on the 2017 research by i-Insured, Ramadan claims or accidents were highest in middle-aged male drivers (40 years old and above) taking 31% of the total count. The older we get, the harder it is to break out of a long-standing habit so it is one of the main focus of the campaign,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, President and CEO of NSG, AETOSWire, and Esmaa News, Mr. Tony AbiHanna, added, \u201cThere are a lot of bad habits that drivers may consider as negligible such as using a cellphone while driving, not wearing a seatbelt, not checking for blind spots, not using turn signals, cutting off lines, accelerating through yellow lights, etc. that in fact become the major cause of accidents.\u201d<\/p>\n
So he advised that, \u201cTake the time to observe your driving habits and see what needs to be changed. Take the first step this Ramadan to be a better and responsible driver. It can really save lives especially your own.\u201d<\/p>\n
