Abu Dhabi Police has urged the students of Al Dhabyania Private School, main branch, to learn the proper road ethics and rules, such as using the designated pedestrians’ crosswalks while crossing roads, the proper ways to board and exit the school bus, and to be extremely cautious to avoid traffic accidents.
In collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Police’s Traffic and Patrols Directorate and the Emirates Driving Company, the Vehicles and Drivers Licensing Department at Abu Dhabi Police had recently organized a traffic awareness day for school’s students as part of the GCC Traffic Week. The awareness program included two lectures on traffic safety, training on the golden rule for safe school bus rides, the etiquette of school bus seating, and the need to develop an appropriate behavior. Moreover, the students were urged to avoid tampering any bus equipment to not distract the driver.
The lecturers focused on students’ safety, by highlighting the proper ways to protect them from traffic accidents, enhancing their traffic awareness, and urging them to use their seat belts.
During the events, gifts were distributed to students to encourage them to participate in traffic events and to enhance their traffic-related awareness.
