Ideal drivers to be honoured in summer traffic safety campaign

TDT | Manama

A “Thank You” initiative aimed at honouring ideal drivers is set to expand in the summer with a traffic safety campaign. This was announced yesterday by Traffic Culture Director Salah Mohammed Shahab, who noted that the initiative presses on with the cooperation of the private sector.

The director revealed that the “Thank You” initiative’s summer traffic safety campaign will include various activities such as tyres inspection at public roads. This will be done in cooperation with the local agent of international tyre manufacturer Pirelli. The inspections aim to enhance awareness of the importance of tyre safety.

The Traffic Culture director added that, in cooperation with Bahrain National Insurance (BNI), ideal drivers would be honoured with one-year on-the-road assistance. He urged drivers to carry out regular maintenance of their vehicles and avoid leaving inflammable items at the car.
