قواعد وأنظمة المرور

Traffic Rules and Regulations

• Driving in a Tunnel: When entering a tunnel with low beams, reduce speed and use low beams.
• Driving at Night: When driving at night, use low beams unless a vehicle is coming from the opposite direction. In this case, switch to high beams.
• Following Another Vehicle: When behind another vehicle at night, use high beams,
• Vehicle from Opposite Direction (Night): If a vehicle approaches from the opposite direction while using high beams, switch to low beams immediately.
• Fueling Your Vehicle: Keep the engine running when fueling. Do not turn off the engine.
• Yellow Light at Intersection: When the light changes from green to yellow, slow down and approach the intersection cautiously. Do not stop inside the intersection.
• Fatigue: If feeling drowsy while driving, pull over to a safe location and rest. Avoid taking stimulants to counteract sleepiness.
• Police Officer at Intersection and Signal: If a police officer is directing traffic at an intersection with a traffic light, follow the officer's directions, not the traffic light.
• Pre-Driving Checks: Adjust the seat, mirrors, and fasten your seatbelt before starting the engine. This should be in this order.
• Daily Pre-Driving Checks: Before every trip, check the vehicle's systems (e.g., brakes, lights). Also check the weather report.
• Using Cell Phone: Avoid using cell phones during driving.
• Seatbelt: Fasten your seatbelt in under a minute after starting the vehicle.
• Headrests: Headrests prevent neck injuries in rear-end collisions.
• Driving in the City: Fatigue and drowsiness impair concentration while driving within the city.
• Alcohol: Do not drive if under the influence of alcohol. Allow time for the effects to wear off.
• Medication: Driving under the influence of certain medication is dangerous.
• Reduced Concentration/Focus: Driving while using a mobile phone is detrimental to the driver's ability to properly operate the vehicle.
• Speed: Reduce speed gradually to stop the vehicle safely on the side of the road if an event such as an engine cover suddenly opens while driving.
• Slow Driving: When driving on crowded roads, drivers should take a quick peek at the mirrors every 4-8 seconds.
• Sudden Stops: Leaving a safe distance between your vehicle and the one ahead can prevent collisions in case of a sudden stop.
• Driving in Rain: Proactive drivers start their journeys accordingly even before the predicted rain. Aim to avoid delays for an advanced driver.
• Driving Position: The essential steps on the vehicle include: securing your seatbelt, adjusting mirrors, and setting an ideal driver seat position.
• Driving with a Disabled Vehicle: If a vehicle malfunctions on a main road, move as far away from traffic as possible safely. Turn on hazard lights.
• Emergency Situations: A car breakdown on the highway requires pulling to the side to prevent a collision. Turn hazard lights on, and use a triangle warning sign. A driver may also consider calling for a tow or emergency support.

Other Driving-Related Information

• Hazardous Vehicles: Vehicles parked on the right-hand side of roads pose risks (e.g. children potentially stepping out).
• Prioritizing: To avoid accidents, a cautious driver should yield to others' rights of way.
• Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): ABS systems in modern vehicles may cause vibrations in the brake pedal during heavy braking, but this is normal.
• Braking (ABS): Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) in modern vehicles prevents brake lock-up during emergency braking, allowing for better control.
• Skidding: If skidding, release the acceleration and steer the car in the opposite direction of the skid. The actions should be done simultaneously.
• Following Distance: Maintaining a safe following distance is important to avoid collisions if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.
• Merging: Drivers should merge into traffic smoothly and safely.
• Turning: When turning, check all mirrors, especially the right-side mirror, to watch for blind spots. Also be aware of other traffic.
• Traffic Lights: At a traffic light turning yellow, drivers should decelerate and prepare to stop or continue the vehicle, depending on the situation.
• Parking: Do not park your vehicle on the road, unless there is parking space.
• Vehicle Size: Drivers of large vehicles (e.g., trucks) need to be aware of their broader blind spots. They must pay attention before they take actions on the road.
• Height of Vehicles: Large vehicles need to be especially cautious when travelling over bridges or through tunnels to avoid issues with height and length.
• Turns: To properly and safely turn their vehicles, drivers must turn the wheel.
• Maintenance: Checking tires, fluids, and other critical systems on a regular schedule can enhance tire life and performance. Drivers should maintain routine checkups and maintenance of their vehicles and equipment.
• Cargo: Securely load and restrain cargo to prevent accidents.
• Vehicle Weight: Vehicles exceed their load limits should not drive to prevent damage to the vehicle and the risk to those around the vehicle.
• Loading: After loading the vehicle, secure all compartments and tanks (e.g., cargo or liquid tanks).
