DOHA: The Ministry of Interior has urged motorists to strictly follow traffic rules and exercise caution on the roads, highlighting the primary causes behind traffic accidents in Qatar.
The ministry pointed out the following key factors leading to accidents on roads:
- Unsafe Lane Changes: Suddenly changing lanes or moving between lanes without first making sure the road is clear can increase the risk of traffic accidents.
- Lack of Focus and Attention: A lack of focus and attention while driving can result in a loss of control and may lead to traffic accidents.
- Not Maintaining a Safe Distance: Following another vehicle too closely reduces the time available to stop when traffic conditions change suddenly. Maintaining a safe distance between vehicles improves safety and helps prevent accidents.
- Entering the Road Without Ensuring It Is Clear: Entering or turning onto a road without first checking that it is clear can put drivers and other road users at risk.
