Traffic Awareness Section at the General Directorate of Traffic Department yesterday organised an awareness symposium about big vehicles traffic safety rules for companies .
Officials from transportation companies attended the symposium to know about safe driving rules for drivers.
First Lieutenant Fahd Mubarak Sherida said the section has put a traffic plan for vehicles drivers in order to reduce accidents and violations committed by drivers.
Among the mistakes which big vehicle drivers make are driving at peak hours which cause traffic jams, overtaking from the right and taking unauthorised lanes.
Some of the vehicles do not cover what they are carrying, which may fall on the road and can cause accidents.
He also added that some drivers met with accidents due to speeding specially on Al Shamal Road, Al Wakra, and also some of them not make any maintenance for the vehicles which create many accidents and make the vehicles stop suddenly in the road.
