The UAE's Ministry of Interior has introduced a new traffic campaign called "Accident-Free Day" aimed at wiping four black points from drivers' licenses. The initiative is set to run on August 31, the first day of the new academic year in most schools, when roads are expected to be particularly busy. By signing an online pledge, drivers can avoid accumulating four black points on their license for a full year.
Drivers are encouraged to obey traffic laws, maintain safe distances, avoid speeding, and refrain from using mobile phones while driving. Brig Juma bin Suwaidan, head of Dubai traffic police, emphasized that the campaign's success lies in fostering long-term positive driving behaviors, not just a single accident-free day. Areas surrounding schools will be closely monitored, with drivers urged to adhere to speed limits, remain focused, and prioritize pedestrian safety.
Once drivers successfully complete the pledge, their black points will be automatically removed from their driving record on September 25. In 2024, over 300,000 drivers participated in the nationwide scheme, with the Ministry of Interior confirming successful drivers via automated text messages.
