>>>>>><<<<<<


Speed on the roads(chase)!

Police car chasing a citizen.
There is no point in speeding because the results might be fatal.

Speeding

Who's faster!?

Weird accident during drag racing.


He's the man!

You think drifting is cool!? Think again!

Baby on board!

If you think the safest place for your baby is always in your arms, then you need to see what happens if your car stops suddenly at only 50 km/h!


Texting while driving!

Texting while driving leads to increased distraction behind the wheel. In 2006, Liberty Mutual Insurance Group conducted a survey with more than 900 teens from over 26 high schools nationwide. The results showed that 37% of students found texting to be "very" or "extremely" distracting. A study by the AAA discovered that 46% of teens admitted to being distracted behind the wheel due to texting.

The importance of seatbelts!


The job of the seatbelt is to hold the passenger in place so the passenger is almost part of the car which prevents the passenger from flying forward as the car stops abruptly in the case of a collision.

Death and injury on Oman's roads


From 2000 to mid-2009 over 6500 men, women and children lost their lives in crashes on Oman's roads and 75,000 or more have been injured, some disabled for life. This is a staggering number in a population of under three million.
