UAE’s ‘A Day Without Accidents’ Is Your Chance To Slash Four Traffic Points By Driving Smart!

UAE is going the extra mile to provide safety on its roads for all by introducing a new campaign, ‘A Day Without Accidents’. All drivers are invited by the Ministry of Interior, the Federal Traffic Council, and the police authorities of the UAE to become a part of this intelligent campaign. And here’s the catch: if you commit to drive safely, you can have four traffic points removed from your record, all without ever setting foot in a service centre.

Become A Part Of UAE’s A Day Without Accidents Campaign To Regain Four Traffic Points

Here’s the gist of it: the campaign is national with the goal of persuading better standards of driving and reducing road crashes. The agenda is straightforward: to persuade as many drivers as can be persuaded to adopt (and stick to) sensible, rule-book behaviour on the road.

To join up, you simply need to sign the pledge form on the website, vowing to obey road signs to the letter. This includes buckling up every time, obeying speed limits, and giving others plenty of room, to not being on your phone and respecting pedestrian crossings. The government wants you alert and focused, no distractions!

Sign up and pledge to do so before August 25, 2025, and you get a tidy bonus: four points on your record will be automatically taken away from September 15. No queuing, no trips to service centres. Everything’s done online, tidy, and hassle-free.

Why Now? The Perfect Time To Drive Smart

The timing is spot on. The campaign is in perfect sync with the quarterly program ‘A Safe School Year’, initiated on August 25, the day of the new academic year. With schools reopening around the Emirates, there is even greater focus on how to keep children safe and the roads safer for all, most particularly children.

This dual initiative provides drivers with a strong incentive to not just keep themselves safe, but to be just a little more careful in the vicinity of schools, where wee ones’ feet are in perpetual motion.

UAE’s A Day Without Accidents: What You Have To Do

Borrowing from the US model, motorists will need to take a vow to adhere to the main safety rules, including:

  1. Buckle your seatbelt at all times, no exceptions.
  2. Respect speed limits, whether speeding down Sheikh Zayed Road or local roads.
  3. Leave a proper gapt, ailgating is not tolerated.
  4. Respect pedestrian crossings and give way to pedestrians.
  5. Avoid texting and phoning on the move.
  6. Give way immediately to emergency vehicles such as ambulances, police, and official convoys.

The Ministry of Interior is clear: it’s not just about earning points off your record, but about saving lives and building safer communities. And trust me, everyone benefits when the roads are safer, no matter if you’re driving a brand-new G-Wagon or catching a cab.

How To Join And What To Expect

It’s simple. Just go to the website on the internet, make the safety pledge, and pledge to drive responsibly. As long as you have all your conditions in order, your traffic points will automatically be removed in mid-September.

And, as a bonus, you’re part of a larger community program to bring some of the safest drives in the world to UAE roads.

Your Drive Can Make A Difference

Finally, ‘A Day Without Accidents’ is not only a campaign, it’s a movement. The UAE relies on all drivers treating this oath seriously, not only for the incentive, but because every safe trip matters.

So buckle up, strap in, eyes on the road, and let’s drive this campaign to be a huge success for all of us. Because after all, safer roads mean happier families and a brighter UAE.
