Traffic authorities have identified 5 golden tips for safe driving on highways:

• Check the weather: It is essential to follow weather forecasts to avoid driving in harsh weather conditions such as heavy dust or heavy rain that obstructs visibility.
• Checking vital vehicle parts: Ensure the safety of the headlights and taillights, the quality of the tires and their air pressure, and the efficiency of the brakes, as these parts are the first line of defense against surprises on the road.
• Emergency equipment: Make sure you have a spare tire and tools to change it, as well as a first aid kit to deal with any minor health emergency that may occur while traveling.
• Driver's physical well-being: Traffic authorities stressed the importance of getting enough sleep before the trip and stopping for rest periods while driving to avoid drowsiness, which is a major cause of fatal accidents.
• Pre-plan the route: Use road maps and navigation apps to choose the most suitable and safest route, and find out where services and gas stations are located.

May God have mercy on the deceased “Abu Mardaa” and inspire his family with patience and solace, and grant a speedy recovery to the injured.
