UAE launches 'accident-free summer' as temperatures soar
The campaign, launched by the Ministry of Interior, urges road users to adhere to traffic laws and regulations. This awareness drive aims to reach to all segments of society, helping reduce accidents, and reach high levels of road safety.
The country also launched the accident-free initiative in 2024's hot season, including awareness about tyre inspections, conducting regular vehicle maintenance, adherence, prescribed speeds, and maintaining safe distances between vehicles.
As summer approaches, it is essential to be aware of the impact that the heat can have on your tyres, and take proactive measures to prevent dangerous situations.
Authorities have cautioned motorists to ensure that tyres are not worn out or damaged, verify the manufacturing date, and inspect tyre pressure.
Five key factors contributing to tyre explosions include:
However, tyre checks are not the only way to prevent accidents. It is essential to do regular vehicle inspections and check oils, cooling fluids and other components. In addition to car health, drivers must engage in with good behaviour on the roads

UAE summer road trips: Experts share car maintenance tips for safe travel
If battling crowds at airports doesn't appeal this summer, road trips in the UAE offer seemingly endless horizons, desert backdrops and towering mountains, as well as the freedom to explore. However, unlike a leisurely drive to the local mall, embarking on a substantial jaunt in your car - especially one that might flirt with the fringes, or indeed, into remote terrain - demands a level of preparation akin to a minor expedition. Neglecting your vehicle before setting off can quickly transform a dream drive into a roadside nightmare. Motoring experts in the region have underlined the importance of anticipating what might lie ahead and being ready for it. 'Much of the Gulf is majestic, alive with history and surprisingly accessible, but only if you respect the elements and prep like a pro," says director of WMMC Consultancy, Roderick Croes, who has extensive experience in the automotive industry in the Middle East, Europe and his native Australia. Al Masaood Motors 's general service manager Rimoun Hanouch agrees, adding: 'Before heading out on a road trip, it's essential to ensure your vehicle is in peak condition, both for performance and safety.' Bearing in mind the difference in what lies ahead and what a driver might be used to is not to be underestimated, advises Binumon Babykutty, Audi Abu Dhabi's master technician. He says that there is always a reminder for drivers who are about to embark on a road trip to do a basic check to avoid any issues that might not be seen during daily commutes. So, before packing the snacks and queueing up the playlist, let's look at the essentials as identified by those in the know. Digital alerts and tyre checks Using what modern cars have to offer is also not to be overlooked, according to Jordan Walker, Volkswagen Abu Dhabi's general manager. 'Today's drivers have access to more tools to prepare for a safe and efficient road trip, yet many still overlook what their vehicles' onboard systems are already telling them – take a few minutes to review your digital dashboard alerts and ensure all reminders are up to date,' he says. Among those digital reminders are some that can make a big difference to safety and performance, starting with tyres. One of the most important steps is checking tyre pressure diligently, including the spare (the recommended pressure is usually found on a sticker inside the driver's side door or in the owner's manual). Under-inflated tyres can lead to overheating and blowouts, a particularly unwelcome event on a scorching desert highway. Also, inspect the tread for wear and tear and ensure there are no bulges or cracks. Look at your spare as well and understand its limitations – many could just be for emergencies, not extended drives. Keep fluids in check Next are the car's fluids. This includes checking engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power steering fluid, ensuring they are all at optimal levels and, crucially, that they are clean. A quick visit to a trusted mechanic for a comprehensive fluid check and top-up is a wise investment. 'We all know that in the UAE, the climate can be extreme, in terms of high temperatures, humidity and dust, which makes changing engine oil and filter especially important,' Hanouch says. And don't forget windscreen washer fluid – desert dust can be relentless. Battery and visibility checks Your battery, too, deserves attention, as heat can be detrimental to battery life. Ensure the terminals are clean and free of corrosion, and if the battery is more than three years old, consider having it checked. Test all those things that help see in the dark – headlights, tail lights, indicators and brake lights. Check brake pads for wear and ensure wipers can clear the windscreen effectively. As Babykutty advises: 'A pre-trip inspection can catch hidden issues early.' Desert demands: Beyond the tarmac For those venturing onto desert roads, or even just skirting them, the preparation intensifies. Tyre pressure for sand is paramount and they will need to be deflated significantly for driving on sand to increase the contact patch and prevent getting stuck. An air compressor is non-negotiable for re-inflating once back to harder surfaces. Recovery gear in the shape of a shovel, recovery boards and a tow rope are your best friends if bogged down. Water and communication essentials When it comes to water, take more than what is needed for drinking and take extra in case the car overheats. With regards to communication, mobile phone signals can be patchy in some remote areas. Consider a satellite phone or a personal locator beacon for true emergencies, as well as a decent-quality GPS device. Plan the route carefully and always know where the next petrol station is, as detours in the wilds can consume fuel far faster than highway cruising. Croes also suggests carrying IDs at all times in preparation for checkpoints. Consider how your car is packed. "We also advise customers to consider how their vehicle will be loaded, as overpacking can affect weight distribution, braking distances and even tyre wear," says Walker. Emergency kit essentials Wherever the destination, a well-stocked emergency kit is non-negotiable. This should include jumper cables, a basic toolkit, first-aid supplies with heatstroke remedies, a torch with spare batteries, a reflective warning triangle and high-visibility vest, a fire extinguisher and non-perishable snacks. As mentioned, water should be ample - stock at least five litres per person, or more for desert trips. Other useful items include duct tape, zip ties and a portable power bank for charging devices. Driving smart: The human element Even the best-prepared car needs a prepared driver, one who is well-rested and route-aware. Share travel plans with someone who isn't going, so they know where you'll be. On desert roads, drive gently – avoid slamming the brakes or accelerating suddenly, as this can cause a car to get stuck. Keep a steady pace, watch the terrain carefully, and if in a convoy, leave plenty of space between vehicles. In the end, preparing your car for a UAE road trip isn't just about avoiding breakdowns; it's about embracing the adventure with confidence.

When UAE deregulated oil prices 10 years ago, sparking 24% hike
Ten years ago, UAE motorists woke up to a day when the government removed subsidies on fuel. It was a weekend — and with the deregulation of oil prices — pump prices were hiked by 24 per cent, aligning with global rates at that time. The new petrol and diesel prices were actually announced by the UAE Ministry of Energy three days earlier, on July 28, 2015. The most commonly used Special 95 petrol saw a 24 per cent increase from Dh1.72 during the subsidised oil price regime to Dh2.14, for a 42 fils hike per litre. Anticipating the increase, several petrol stations were abuzz with activity as drivers queued up to fill up their tanks before the hike came into play. Khaleej Times captured long lines of cars waiting at petrol stations in Dubai and Sharjah. Mixed emotions were also evident at petrol stations that day. As Khaleej Times reported, some motorists supported the move, while others felt they 'were not given enough information about the reasons for the hike.' 'I really think it's fair. The price is based on the fair market. I don't see any problem with this at all,' said one Dubai resident that day. While another one retorted, 'Of course, this petrol price hike is going to be a big problem for me. That extra cost adds up each time.' UAE motorists were used to enjoying cheap oil prices and some drivers who spoke to Khaleej Times expressed surprise at the rate of the increase. 'That seems like a lot. This will surely have repercussions,' noted a Pakistani expat who also anticipated an increase in taxi fares. Another Dubai driver said he believed the hike in petrol prices would primarily affect the large SUVs that are ubiquitous on the streets of the UAE. 'For me and my smaller car, this is okay,' noted the Indian expat who added: 'The problem here is that Dubai is a place where many, many people drive big cars. They will be the people who will end up having to pay much more.' Azhar Zia ur-Rehman, a long-time resident of the UAE, meanwhile, urged residents to not overreact to the announcement. 'Let us look at it logically instead of emotionally,' he said. 'The two major expenses for a family here are accommodation and education. If the government can bring these down, no one will mind paying the increased price for petrol.' Some residents also told Khaleej Times that a 24 per cent hike in fuel price 'is okay long as salaries rise faster than before.' On the brighter side, the price of diesel drastically went down that day — from Dh2.90 to Dh2.05 per litre. Traders reacted positively to the revised rate. On another note, Thomas Edelmann, founder and managing director of RoadSafetyUAE, said residents should treat the oil price deregulation as an opportunity to reflect on the link between fuel consumption and driving behaviour in the UAE. He said higher fuel prices usually lead to increased efforts from motorists to display a more economical behaviour. 'This usually results in a less fuel-demanding driving style, carpooling, avoiding of unnecessary trips, and a shift to use of public transportation,' he added. Simply put, fewer cars on the road means less congestion and less stress. 'It is fair to assume improved driving behaviour will not only impact our wallets, it could have a positive impact on road safety too,' Edelmann noted. Since the UAE deregulated petrol prices in 2015 and aligned them with global rates, the rates are revised at the end of every month. Fuel prices for August 2025 were announced on July 31. Super 98 petrol is Dh2.69 per litre, as compared to Dh2.70 last month. Special 95 petrol is Dh2.57 per litre, a neglible .05 fil increase to July's rate of Dh2.58. Diesel saw a slight increase at Dh2.78 per litre, compared to last month's Dh2.63, but still comfortably below the Dh2.90 per litre price 10 years ago, when oil prices were heavily subsidised.
