The Ministry of Interior (MOI) is reminding motorists that following traffic rules and guidelines can help prevent unsafe driving practices, maintain smooth traffic flow and reduce road accidents. The Ministry encourages drivers to stay alert and drive safely, highlighting several common causes of traffic accidents.

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. Drivers should check the road carefully before changing lanes.

Failure to Exercise Caution
A lack of focus and attention while driving can result in a loss of control and may lead to traffic accidents. Staying focused on the road is important for the safety of drivers and other road users.

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 can help 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. Drivers should make sure the road is clear before proceeding.

The Ministry of Interior stresses that following traffic rules and guidelines helps protect drivers and other road users and contributes to safer roads for everyone.

Drive safely and follow traffic rules.
