Demerit System for Traffic Offences in UAE

It is not wondering to be stopped by the police as a result of exceeding the number of points of reckless driving. Dubai is like all modern cities around the world that use this system to pour more safety on roads. RTA applied Demerit System for traffic offences in order to spot the light on careless drivers and to acknowledge good driving as well.
RTA is ambitious enough to pave the way for a futuristic vision which is to make Dubai’s roads accident-free. However, before introducing black points system the number of fatalities on road was 1,056. In order to combat this issue Dubai’s Police frequently introduces drastic traffic rules and hefty fines drivers that violate the regulations and cause danger on roads. As a result, the number of road casualties decreased dramatically to 174 road fatalities. This marvelous view made Dubai’s roads safer for all people there.
The maximum number of points that a driver can receive are 24 points, but if a driver reached this number or exceed it, his license and car can be suspended for up to a year. However, reckless drivers may continue driving carelessly and pay any fine issued for them. Therefore, if a person drives in a way that endangers people’s live, the driver can receive a fine of AED 2,000 and the car will be impounded for sixty days as well. Not only this, but even littering or not stopping on zebra crossings results in receiving four black points.
One of the reasons that cause accidents on roads is tailgating, and it is one of the reasons for getting black points in U.A.E. To make careless drivers abstain from this habitual action the punishment is escalated to a level that the driver can be detained to more than a day. On the other hand, you can reduce the of black points that you received by joining a one-day course on promoting road safety and spreading traffic awareness.

Abu Dhabi New Navigation System

So far, Abu Dhabi suffered from peak traffic congestions which force motorists to spend much more time reaching their destination. This problem does not occur recently, but it existed many years ago. Although there were a lot of effort that has been exerted to overcome this problem, it still lingering up. In order to combat this issue a new navigation system has been launched in Abu Dhabi.

Importance of the Navigation System

Recently, drivers tried to a skilful way to get rid of tough traffic jams by using their mobile phones. However, this is not an ultimate solution, because motorists have to pay attention to the road as well as the screen of their phones. This divert of attention could result in dangerous or even fatal accidents. Moreover, concentrating simultaneously on two things, minimizes motorists’ road concentration level, especially in long destinations.

Pros of Abu Dhabi New Navigation System

What makes this new navigation system outstanding is that it is installed in the car itself. Therefore, drivers’ attention will not be distracted. This system informs motorists about less traffic congestion routes. It will also provide them with updated and verified information about ideal parking areas.

Cons of the New Navigation System

For this system to work appropriately, it must be connected to the internet. However, if drivers run out of internet service, they will not be able to use this navigation system. An interesting solution can be carried out by designing a navigation system that is capable of working off-line. Abu Dhabi’s Roads and Transportation Authority (RTA) can tax drivers for this service.
In conclusion, this navigation system will combat the problem of high traffic congestion. In addition, it will assist commuters to reach their destinations as quick as possible. Thanks to RTA in Abu Dhabi for this valuable service.

Long Distances Drive

Driving for long distances can be risky, but setting a well-designed plan can help you get rid of this danger. 4×4 autos can be suitable, because they are multi-function. With these types of vehicle, you will be ready to face any dangerous destinations. Many advisors recommend these cars especially when driving off-road. Whatever kind of auto you choose, there are number of factors that should be put into consideration:

Car Preparation

Before triggering this long journey, update your car services. This could be done by changing engine oil and replacing filters of oil, air, fuel and cabin. You can do this alone, if you are skilful enough other wise you can go to maintenance for a complete check. Beside these, you have to check up all tyres, water and windscreens.

Sleeping and Regular Breaks

If you will accompany kids, you have to make sure that they had enough rest and sleep. You too as a driver have to get enough amount of sleep, because this will help you to concentrate well during your long journey. What is more important than these is that you have to take regular breaks at least fifteen minutes every two hours. This will help you to increase your concentration level, as well as, giving children a time for playing and fun.

RACQ

Royal Automobile Club of Queensland (RACQ), there are a lot of services that this organization provides, such as, roadside assistance. If your car is broken down somewhere, they will provide you an immediate support. However, you need to have a prior subscription to this road service. Otherwise, you will be charged higher when you request their help.

Traffic Lights

As the invention of cars become common around the world, most cities became full of autos. This resulted in a lot of traffic jam which requires a lot of traffic police to organize the movement of these cars. In the past traffic police have to work day and night at traffic crossing. However, J P Knight who worked at that time as an engineer for railways signalling thought about finding a good solution for this problem. Therefore, he invented these
Traffic signals in order to make roads safer and to reduce the number of traffic police on roads.

Advantages of Traffic Signals

There are a lot of advantages of obeying traffic signal: firstly, it helps in controlling speed. This is important because of the fact that speed often results in a lot of traffic accidents. For instance, if there are not traffic signal, reckless drivers will not slow down when there are some pedestrians crossing the road. In addition, traffic lights efficiently organize cars movement in crossing to avoid committing accidents.

Disadvantages of Traffic Signals

There is only one overt disadvantage of traffic signals. The allocated time for each line is controlled by the traffic lights. This means when the light is red, drivers have to stop even if there is no any car in the other lines. However, this is excessive delay can be controlled. There should be a traffic police in charge of each traffic light to change the sign swiftly accordingly. All in all, traffic lights are essential when it comes to road safety.

Single and Double Cab Autos vs. Triple Cab

Do you wander which one of them is ideal? Single cab autos are well-designed cars that can serve many purposes, and they can be ideal when the work is at peak; the same is true for double cab vehicles. Before taking the initiative of buying one, you have to think about the kind of purpose that you would like to achieve. In other words, if you would like an auto that serves as family purposes then a double cab auto would be much better. On the other hand, if you commute to work often transporting some goods, instruments, etc. then a suitable option for you is single cab auto.

Shedding the light on packing space, single cab autos are characterized be of course gigantic size for packaging, but this comes at the expense of the number of passengers in the car. These kinds of vehicles downsize the number to barley one compared to four passengers that can be accommodated simultaneously. To strike a balance, double cab cars can achieve both purposes at the same time. Another interesting idea is that some items can be packed on the front and back seats. In some cases, even passengers can take advantage of the back storage, but it is risky.

Do you still wander about single and double cab autos? Triple cab cars are designed for overcoming this wandering. These kinds of state-of-the-arts cars can do both functions in a perfect way. In terms of packaging space, they can be used for transporting goods, instruments, etc. as single cab autos do. Therefore, the same characteristic that single cab vehicles obtain are also present in triple cab cars. So far, double cab cars are labelled suitable when it comes to the number of passengers that can be accommodated. Unlike the former kinds of autos, triple cab cars can afford a space to seven passengers and enough space for packaging luggage and goods.  To put it in a nut shell, triple cab vehicles can achieve both purposes done by single and double cab cars equally and efficiently.

 

Autonomous Cars to Hit Abu Dhabi’s Streets

Do you feel bored of driving everyday commuting from home to work and so on? Do you consume most of your time driving in peak traffic jam and much of your work remains undone? Do you suffer from committing accidents from time to time? Then autonomous cars are here for you to get rid of all these problems. These driverless vehicles or in other words self-driving cars already starting to hit the roads of cities across UAE.
First of all, since many people have to do the daily routine of commuting from home to work, taking children to school every day…etc; they can live headache-free by assigning these routines to self-driving vehicles. The time, effort and concentration which are spent on roads can be saved and used efficiently instead on something beneficial, for instance, reading a book, completing backlogs, preparing tasks, etc. Not only this, but in term of safety on roads these modern vehicles are safer, since they are supported by a lot of sensors and cameras which both calculate the speed and the distance in a very accurate manner.
Secondly, you do not need to press the clutch, change the gear, press the accelerator meanwhile leaving the clutch gradually and doing the same in every gear change; this is a waste of physical effort and concentration. The well-designed system of these cars will do all these actions smoothly and harmoniously. What all you need is just to adjust the map to the place where you want to reach.
Finally, before starting the journey, the car often filters all roads to choose the ones that are not occupied. It is true that even in the case of manual driving the same can be done, but there is a risk of committing an accident, since the driver has to look at the map from time to time.
In conclusion, driverless vehicles can improve our life in many potential ways; being more environmentally friendly, time saving and safer to drivers and pedestrians alike. After all these, I do not think that you will be hesitant to try an autonomous vehicle.

Autos and the Crisis of Global Warming

Global warming endangers many aspects of our life: habitat health, basic human needs, high temperature, rising seas, severe flooding and droughts…etc. Our personal vehicles are mainly responsible of this, as well as factories and all machines that are gasoline-powered. Cars and trucks account for approximately one-fifth of all US emission, which is roughly estimated as 24 pounds of carbon dioxide, in addition to other global-warming gases.Only about five pounds of this emission comes from delivery of the fuel, extraction and production. Surprisingly, more than nineteen pounds per gallon is produced by cars’ exhaust-pipes.

However, in the majority of countries around the world transportation sector which includes: autos, trucks, trains, planes, freight (movement of goods), etc. accounts for higher percentages of carbon dioxide emission than almost any other sector. What is worse is that the extraction and refining of unconventional oils, such as tar sands and tight oil will probably increase in the upcoming years, which means viciously global warming in turn riches very high levels.dubai car
What is the ideal solution then? To ban the use of cars and other machines that are petrol-powered! Definitely, this is a fallacious idea. An ideal solution for climate change could be: firstly, providing universal access to electricity to all people on the world. Secondly, obtaining renewable energy and thirdly, doubling energy efficiency rate. These are the ultimate solutions that UAE is trying to achieve by 2030 according to The National. All countries around the globe have to team up, put hand on hand and exert a lot of effort to put actions on the ground.
To put it in a nut shell, achieving all of the previous solutions as quick as possible is the key for swiftly solving this escalating dilemma, but above all, electric cars should be put into consideration.
