Accidents and Ambulances, never rest!
Every day if you do not hear one Ambulance siren, the ambulance zooming ahead in 100kmph, then thank god! either the 'terrific' traffic is less OR there is no accidents! (touchwood! :-))
It has become almost a daily scene where you notice a speeding ambulance zipping past all cars in the busy roads of Dubai, at amazing speed and loud sirens. The accidents has become so much part and parcel of Dubai traffic that at least one accident happens in the busiest road of Dubai - E11 or popularly known as Sheikh Zayed Road!
I don't understand why accidents should happen even when there is so much regulation of traffic and a superior traffic management in place. One of the reasons that can be attributed to is the usage of Mobile phones while driving. Here, it is so common and I believe there is some law of not using phone while driving, inspite of which people use mobile phone while driving at a speed of 100~120kmph on E11! This leads to so much distraction and chain-effect that if a vehicle speeding at 120kmph applies a sudden brake, the rest of vehicles behind need to see this action and need to apply brake and this leads to most of the accidents!
Police cannot be blamed as they cannot check each and every vehicle if the person driving is using mobile or not...It is upto the responsibility of the driver to adhere to the rules and regulations and drive carefully, for his/her safety and safety of others as well!!
No idea when will people realize this and when will we see accident(s) free E11!
