Ramadan is a great time to improve your driving

The good habits adopted during the holy month of Ramadan could help improve the safety on the roads in the long run, according to experts.

Ahmad Hashim Behroozian, CEO of the Licensing Agency at the Roads and Transport Authority said: “The majority of accidents happen because people don’t have patience, they are rude and they get involved in tailgating. I think Ramadan is the right time to practise self-restraint because self-control is the basic principle behind fasting and this should not be applied only to eating and drinking but in all parts of life including driving.”

For the safety of the driver, passengers and road users during Ramadan, Abdul Razzaq, assistant manager at the Emirates Driving Institute, suggested that motorists should get enough sleep, avoid driving after having a heavy iftar meal, should not drive if they feel too tired and not rush to their destination.
