Police urges drivers and pedestrians to avoid wrong practices
The Command & Control Centre of Dubai Police received 2,419 calls during the first day of the holy month of Ramadan.
"Yesterday [the first day of Ramadan], The Dubai Police Command & Control Centre received 2,419 emergency calls and reported 250 traffic accidents [two of which were serious] all between 2:30 pm until 7:30pm," said Lt. Colonel Khazraj Majed Al Khazraji, Director of the Command & Control Centre.
Al Khazraji urged motorists to buckle up, adhere to the speed limits, maintain a safe distance and drive defensively – especially during the holy month.
He pointed out that non-emergency calls waste time of the police teams, urging public not to make unnecessary calls to 999.
Lt. Colonel Khazraj urged drivers and road users to stay away from the wrong practices especially when approaching an intersection. He urged pedestrians to watch out for the vehicles and cross the road from designated places only for their own safety.
On Tuesday, a woman died in Ras Al Khaimah in an accident while crossing the road not marked for pedestrians.
He urged drivers also to have patience during this holy month of Ramadan.
As long as it’s over there.
Rama Lama Ding Dong
I urge those drivers to swig crummy tequila from the bottle as they smoke big fat doobies while snorting powder drugs all while behind the wheel, blindfolded, as they reenact the popular youtube series "Horrific Saudi Drifting Deaths".
What a backward, 4th century sh*t hole.
Drivers in Dubai should be encouraged to drive as fast as possible!
A 5 hour long demolition derby?
Ramadam!
This sort of thing happens after centuries of inbreeding.
I drive through the intersenction. The light is red. Allah decrees muy fate. If Allah wills that I am to die then I will die. If Allah wills that I will pass the intersection alive then I will live.
Great time to nuke these idiots. Lots of them all in one place.
Not enough though. They inbreed like rabbits.
So what is different in Ramadan than any other day?
