UAE to cut four black points for accident-free driving on first day of school year
The UAE will remove four black points from motorists' licences if they avoid accidents and comply with traffic rules on August 25, the first day of the new school year. The Federal Traffic Council said the annual Accident-Free Day campaign is aimed at promoting safe driving as more than one million pupils return to classrooms nationwide. الداخلية تطلق مبادرتها "يوم بلا حوادث" لتعزيز السلامة المرورية أطلقت وزارة الداخلية ممثلة بمجلس المرور الاتحادي، وبالتنسيق مع كافة القيادات الشرطية بالدولة، مبادرتها المرورية الريادية "يوم بلا حوادث" لتتزامن مع انطلاق حملتها الفصلية "عام دراسي آمن"، حيث يصادف (25) من أغسطس… — وزارة الداخلية (@moiuae) August 11, 2025 Drivers who remain incident-free on the day will have the penalty points deducted from their records by September 15. Last year, more than 300,000 motorists registered for the campaign. Hussein Al Harthi, chairman of the Federal Traffic Council at the Ministry of Interior, said the initiative is a key part of efforts to make the UAE's roads safer amid rising congestion. 'We are keen to launch campaigns to boost traffic safety by encouraging positive behaviours among drivers,' he said. 'This requires the co-operation of all members of society, including drivers and pedestrians. We are launching the campaign on the first day of school because it is very important. The priority is to ensure the safety of pupils.' Motorists can sign up via the Ministry of Interior website by logging in and signing the pledge. The campaign urges drivers to follow basic safety measures, including wearing seatbelts, adhering to speed limits, maintaining safe distances and avoiding distractions such as mobile phone use. Black points are imposed for serious breaches of traffic regulations. Accumulating 24 points within 12 months can lead to a licence suspension, with the duration depending on the severity of offences. Penalties for traffic violations in the UAE range from fines and vehicle confiscation to daily impound fees of AED100. Mustafa Al Dah, an Emirati road safety researcher, said the timing of the campaign serves as a critical reminder. 'The start of the school year is always a key campaign,' he said. 'We often have to remind both parents, teachers, school bus drivers and other road users about the importance of road safety. Despite it being very rare, we have heard of tragic incidents in the past where children have been injured in a school car park or someone has died in or near a school.'

In the footage, both individuals were seen climbing onto the bonnets of their moving vehicles to record content aimed at increasing online views and popularity. 'This reckless behaviour poses a serious threat to the safety of the drivers themselves and other road users. It is a blatant violation of traffic laws and cannot be tolerated,' Brigadier bin Suwaidan stated.

UAE health ministry completes second phase of adopting ‘Zero Government Bureaucracy'
As part of the UAE government's 'Zero Government Bureaucracy' programme, the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) said it has successfully restructured a series of key services, reducing their number by 50 per cent. This is Phase II of MoHAP's effort to align with the UAE programme, which aims to create a government free of unnecessary complexity, with faster, simpler, and more effective services that enhance quality of life and boost institutional efficiency. سمعنا الجميع باهتمام. وعقدنا الورش التشاركية. ووظفّنا أحدث التقنيات. لنصل إلى خدمات رقمية أسهل، وأسرع، وأبسط، وأكفأ، تلبّي احتياجاتكم وتفوق توقّعاتكم. #وزارة_الصحة_ووقاية_المجتمع_الإمارات #تصفير_البيروقراطية #خدمات_سهلة_وسريعة #خدمات_أكثر_كفاءة_وسهولة … — وزارة الصحة ووقاية المجتمع – MOHAP UAE (@mohapuae) August 3, 2025 UAE's Zero Bureaucracy success continues In this phase, the Ministry adopted a human-centric roadmap that placed customer experience at its core. Key elements included streamlining service procedures, reducing documentation, eliminating redundant requirements, and integrating digital systems to reduce the number of smart apps in use. The Ministry also focused on minimising time, cost, and effort for service users while enhancing interoperability with partner entities to facilitate seamless data exchange and faster access to services. A package launched by MoHAP during this phase included licensing and accreditation services for healthcare professionals and facilities, in which they cut the number of services from 32 to just 16. The overhaul has significantly reduced processing times, improved operational efficiency, and strengthened alignment with the programme's overall objectives. To assess the impact of these improvements, MoHAP conducted surveys and user experience studies, and used suggestions from both the internal teams and proactive service users. These efforts align with the programme's target of achieving 100 per cent elimination of digital bureaucracy by providing streamlined, complexity-free services and modernised systems. MoHAP stressed that it's committed to supporting the UAE Government's vision of building a more agile and proactive model, one that anticipates needs, offers innovative solutions, and delivers fast, efficient, and tangible results for every customer. Benefits both citizens and businesses Dr Mohammed Salim Al Olama, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health and Prevention, said these improvements will meet the expectations of citizens, as well as businesses. 'Our approach aligns perfectly with the government's flexible and forward-looking model for service delivery. It supports sustainable development, strengthens the UAE's global competitiveness, and is built on innovation, stakeholder engagement, and the empowerment of high-performing teams through advanced digital tools and AI integration,' said Dr Al Olama. 'The Ministry achieved remarkable results in the first and second phases of the programme by engaging various segments of society, partners, and internal teams. We adopted a proactive approach to enhance services, streamline procedures, and improve operational efficiency, making them more accessible and user-friendly. Abdullah Ahli, Acting Assistant Undersecretary for the Support Services Sector and Leader of the Zero Government Bureaucracy Team at MoHAP, emphasised the participatory nature of the Ministry's approach. 'Our service redesign efforts align with Phase II of the Zero Government Bureaucracy programme,' Ahli explained. 'We adopted a co-design methodology through workshops that involve stakeholders from the healthcare sector and customers themselves. By analysing the user experience, we ensured the new services are smoother, less costly, and more results-oriented, while eliminating unnecessary procedures and requirements to maximise satisfaction and customer happiness.' Future packages Ahli said the Ministry is in the process of launching additional packages of redesigned services, following the successful completion of the testing phase and user experience assessments. These service packages will include a wider range of priority services. Phase II of the programme aims to achieve 100 per cent zero digital bureaucracy by removing redundant digital steps, minimising the number of smart applications, and upgrading all digital government systems. It also involves the active adoption of artificial intelligence and a fundamental shift in the culture of government work.
