Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has highlighted several unsafe driving practices that can lead to traffic accidents, urging motorists to follow traffic rules, remain alert and maintain safe driving habits to protect themselves and other road users.

Major causes of traffic accidents

• Unsafe lane changes: Changing lanes suddenly or without checking whether the road is clear can lead to collisions.
• Lack of attention: Losing focus while driving can affect a driver’s ability to react and control the vehicle.
• Following too closely: Failing to maintain a safe distance reduces the time available to stop when traffic conditions change suddenly.
• Entering roads without checking: Turning onto or entering a road without ensuring it is clear can put other motorists and road users at risk.

MoI urged all motorists to comply with traffic regulations and exercise caution, stressing that responsible driving plays an important role in making Qatar’s roads safer.
