While the Ministry of Interior has tightened procedures to control traffic violators and reduce road accidents, recent traffic statistics have revealed that 8 traffic accidents occur every hour in Kuwait due to reckless vehicle use. Mobile phones while driving, reports say, “have become a common factor in many accidents
According to sources, nearly 29,000 traffic accidents were recorded in the country during the last five months, “from January to May 2023,” which claimed the lives of 135 citizens and residents, “that is, an average of 27 victims every month. “
A reading of the “Bleeding Roads” numbers reveals that 5,800 road accidents occur every month in the country, “which is an average of 193.3 accidents per day, requiring concerted efforts by state agencies and civil society institutions. Traffic law is applied uncompromisingly and confronts this number. The main finding is that drug addiction and mobile use are the main culprits in road accidents.
Even though the ministry and related agencies have been taking legal action once morest this trend for years, the lack of awareness among the people is considered to be the main culprit.
