“Speed kills, why can't everyone understand that. And class has nothing to do with it. DRIVE SAFELY, remember someone is waiting for you.”

“@Yamna: agree with you about creating awareness but also to people who make remarks about class. Many of the accidents are due to high-class individuals with their pricey autos.”

“Was feeling relieved to know the other day about reduction in Dubai road accidents as compared to the same period last year. Analysis of road carnage always leads to conclusions which are baseless and unjustifiable. Time for break-neck steps to be implemented by the traffic authorities before more necks are sacrificed....”

“Hope everyone gets well soon and is safe!
But there definitely needs to be more awareness for the consequences of rash driving amongst the youth and lower class individuals.”
