Ras Al Khaimah: Along with locals, expatriates including Malayalis have decided to make the holidays auspicious days. Officials are warning that the departure of the festive days, which are welcomed with joy, should be done with joy. A 10-20 percent increase in road accidents is attributed to holiday-related plight. It is reassuring to note that there have been fewer road accidents during Ramadan than in the past. The authorities have requested that this should continue on holidays as well.
A safe Eid celebration is also possible if you are careful about traffic rules. Vehicles should be checked and made sure that they are in perfect working order before travelling. Remember that it is hotter during the day. Expired tires must be replaced. Do not neglect to adjust the pressure in the tires to the required level. If you have to face a tire burst, you should take steps to stop the vehicle without panicking. Follow the signs posted on the lanes and do not deviate from the speed limit. Using only designated spaces for parking vehicles will help avoid traffic jams and prevent other vehicles from causing accidents. Officials also remind passengers and drivers to be careful to follow environmental laws while in recreational areas.
