Moreover, the department urged them to regularly check the condition of their tyres and check their pressure.

It is worth mentioning that the department organized an awareness-raising initiative to educate motorists about tyre safety and optimizing their use. It also advised them to make sure to choose the right tyre that is the best option for their vehicles’ speed and power.

Moreover, Colonel Al Kutbi highlighted the importance of carrying out the necessary technical tests for tyres, and learning how to verify their serviceability.

The Head of Vehicles and Drivers Licensing Department also warned motorists who change their vehicles’ tyres against leaving the damaged tyres on external roads, which create obstacles that lead to traffic accidents. He also emphasized the need to increase awareness among drivers and have them participate in increasing the efforts in order to reduce the number of traffic accidents.

For his part, Lt. Colonel Hamid Mohammed Sharif, Head of the Support Services Section at the Vehicles and Drivers Licensing Department, said that the department organized an awareness-raising initiative for motorists during their visit to the Technical Test Center at the “Al Salama” main building.
