The UAE Ministry of Interior has declared August 25, 2025, the start of the new school year, as ‘A Day Without Accidents.’ This initiative, coordinated with police departments nationwide, aims to improve road safety during increased traffic after summer vacations. Motorists who pledge on the official MOI website and have no traffic violations on this day will receive an electronic deduction of four black points from their driving licence by September 15, 2025. The campaign also raises awareness about common traffic violations like speeding, distracted driving, seatbelt use, and yielding to emergency vehicles.
