Experts call for attentiveness while driving
All speakers at the recent Tristar Road Safety Seminar held in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, reiterated that 95% of all road accidents are preventable because they are caused by human errors.
Robert Burgon, Executive Head of Training at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents or RoSPA, explained that drivers can avoid accidents by being focused while driving so that they don’t get distracted and make the right judgements especially at junctions and intersections.
Tristar Group CEO Eugene Mayne said that to reduce road accidents and fatalities, drivers should change bad habits like speeding, talking on the mobile phone and not following rules.
He added that Tristar will continue to spread road safety awareness in the Kingdom. Tristar has been promoting road safety awareness in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for several years in collaboration with the Centre for Responsible Business of Dubai Chamber and the Traffic Department of the Roads and Transport Authority.
“I would like to thank Tristar for organizing this seminar, and creating this opportunity to share the knowledge and learn about road safety,” expressed Miasem Bajowaiber, a civil engineer and the only woman speaker at the event held at the Hyatt Regency in Riyadh.
