Sharjah drivers ranked UAE's safest in traffic study

Sharjah drivers have emerged as the safest on UAE roads according to a recent study conducted by the Bin Yaber Driving Institute. The institute assessed seven key indicators, including driving schools' competence, education quality, road safety, driving behavior, and public interest in driving topics. The study, which used Google Maps listings to gather driver education figures, concluded that Sharjah motorists scored the highest with an overall mark of 84.4.

This score reflects the UAE's strongest road safety performance, and the relatively low average driving speed in Sharjah likely contributed to the strong performance. Abu Dhabi drivers came second with a score of 82.2, while Dubai followed with 80.3 points. However, Abu Dhabi had the most hit-and-run accidents in 2024 with 378, compared to just 96 in Sharjah throughout the same year.
