The Ras Al Khaimah Police General Command, through its Traffic and Patrols Department and the Traffic Awareness and Information Branch, has issued a warning about the dangers of sudden deviations as part of its traffic campaign titled "Beware! Your Life is More Important." The campaign urges drivers to focus solely on the road while driving to prevent unexpected deviations, loss of vehicle control, and potentially fatal accidents.
The police highlighted that the main causes of sudden deviations and vehicle deterioration include distractions such as using phones, browsing social media, answering calls and messages, and taking photos while driving. These behaviors significantly increase the risk of serious traffic accidents.
In line with the Ministry of Interior’s strategy to enhance security and safety, Ras Al Khaimah Police advises drivers to avoid unexpected deviations by maintaining appropriate speeds, adhering to designated road routes and speed limits, staying focused on the road, and avoiding reckless lane changes. These precautions are essential to safeguarding lives and property.
