Dubai Police has launched an awareness competition to educate the public about the traffic laws, while giving them a chance to win an "Esaad" discount card.

Public must answer 10 questions on the leading causes of traffic accidents, including excessive speed, unsafe stopping on the road, and other causes identified based on traffic studies.

The competition runs for five weeks until December 13, and the winner will be announced on December 31.

An electronic draw will be held to select five winners, each of whom will receive an "Esaad" card and enjoy the privileges and discounts it offers across 10 different sectors. 

Brigadier Salah Mohammad Al Marzouqi, Director of the Esaad Card Centre at the General Department of Logistics Support, explained the card "employs its partnerships and privileges to encourage participation in purposeful initiatives".

Meanwhile, Colonel Talal Abdullah Al Mansouri, Director of the Traffic Education Department at the General Department of Traffic, said the competition helps make the community members "active partners in enhancing road safety".

Speaking to ARN News, First Lieutenant Salma al-Marri, Head of the Traffic Awareness Section, said the competition suits all ages, inviting the public to participate:

Registration for the competition is available on the Traffic Safety Platform.
