Sharjah drivers ranked UAE's safest in traffic study

Sharjah drivers have emerged as the safest on UAE roads according to a recent study by the Bin Yaber Driving Institute. The institute evaluated seven key indicators including driving competence, education quality, road safety, driver behaviour and public interest in driving-related topics. Sharjah scored highest at 84.4, indicating the best road safety performance in the UAE.

Their relatively low average driving speed, though aided by heavy traffic, contributed to their top ranking. In contrast, Umm Al Quwain had the lowest score at 17.6. While Abu Dhabi drivers ranked second with a score of 82.2, they also had the most hit-and-run accidents in 2024.
