Continental Tires and Dubai’s Roads & Transport Authority will offers meals to drivers this Ramadan 

This Ramadan season, tyre manufacturer Continental and Dubai’s Roads & Transport Authority have joined hands to provide 1,000 meals and safety tips to truck and taxi drivers.

The initiative will start from April 15th at a Truck Rest Area on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road in Dubai when the representatives from both entities will distribute the meals. 

Along with that, Continental and RTA will also give some valuable safety tips to the drivers like, avoiding driving after a heavy meal, especially after breaking the fast, to take a good rest before driving – if you feel exhausted, drowsy or if you are yawning frequently, you should stop driving immediately, avoiding reclining the seat back too much and try to maintain your back in an upright position, with your head up while driving, ensuring the air conditioning in the car is on, as the hot weather causes fatigue and exhaustion, etc.

“Safety is a top priority for Continental and as part of our Vision Zero Initiative, we are pleased we can do our part in keeping the UAE’s roads safe, especially during the Holy Month. This is why we set up our meal station on such a major route as the E311, to remind people of some of the more important safety tips when driving and fasting. We are delighted to work with the RTA once again, and hope that over the next four days, we can really make a difference and help road users during this time,” said Mostafa Farouk, Marketing Manager at Continental Middle East.
