Self Reflection on Mansoor Alblooshi's presentation


In Jan 9th we attended a presentation done by our colleague Mansoor Alblooshi,in F11 in ADMC. His presentation Mansoor talked about the traffic accidents in the UAE and the effect it leaves on locals. At First Mansoor Mentioned that car accidents is the third reason of death among UAE national specially the young people. He said that about 96% of the accidents happen due to rush and reckless driving specially from young people and the over speeding is the second reason for accidents. Also Mansoor mentioned that another reason is modifying cars to add more horse power to it which make the cars a lot faster. Another reason that Mansoor also mentioned is disrespecting the laws and not using traffic signals when changing the lanes in addition to lack of taking care of the regular car maintenance for example the car tires that could cause a huge accidents if the tire exploded. Finally Mansoor said that in 2008 in Abu Dhabi alone the main cause of death was car accidents by a rate of 68% of the deaths in Abu Dhabi. In my opinion Mansoor gave a good presentation but he could have done better by giving some of the solutions to solve this huge issue in the UAE and mention what are the government doing now to help reducing the car accidents and is it working or there should be a change in these procedures like speed cameras, that personally I don’t think it effects anybody cause locals don’t worry about paying the speed tickets like they used to.
