Brigadier Ghaith Hassan Al Zaabi, Director General, Traffic Coordination General Directorate at the Ministry of Interior (MoI), said the decrease in traffic accidents, deaths and injuries have a lot to do with the efforts and ongoing initiatives by the UAE leadership, the Ministry of Interior and the Police, who are raising awareness about traffic safety, reports Khaleej Times.

Brigadier Al Zaabi said the cause of traffic accidents in the UAE are closely linked to the increasing population, as well as the increasing number of residents obtaining driving licenses.
