The Pollice to enforce the belt rule strictly
The seat-belt safety campaign organised by the Dubai Police's General Department of Traffic has ended and traffic authorities are now set to enforce the rule strictly.
Violation of the rule would attract a fine of Dh100 and three black points.
The two-week-long campaign was sponsored by Gargash Enterprises and the global health and consultancy group, Santis HSE.
Dr Lt-Col. Jasim K. Mirza , Head of Safety Awareness in Dubai Police, who presiding over the closing ceremony, said the schools were the best training ground for the safety of the society and its future generations.
He thanked the representatives of Santis and Gargash Enterprises, Paul Stothert and Wassim Derbi, respectively, for donating 100 children's car seats to members of the public in Dubai.
Late last month, the Director of General Department of Traffic Police, Brig. Mohammed Saif Al Zafeen, had said a total of 7,094 people had violated the seat-belt rule last year.
Brigadier Al Zafin said the campaign aimed at spreading awareness among motorists and focused on seating children under the age of 10 in the rear seats.
The campaign utilised the services of the Abu Dhabi-based policeman who, dressed like Santa Claus dubbed Dabdoob, visited schools to promote the use of seat belts among the pupils.
Jasim Obeid, the organiser of these visits, told Khaleej Times that he had shown children how accidents could result in the loss of lives of those who do not fasten the seat belt. "I found the young ones very alert and curious," he said. Source
