The General Department of Traffic has announced that it will begin next Monday 17/6/1439 A.H., in implementing e-monitoring procedures to control violations relating to non-buckling of safety belt and the use of mobile phone by hand while driving.
The Department explained that the step comes within the framework of expanding the control of traffic violations by modern technology, which will begin in its first phase in the cities of Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. And in the next phase the rest of the Kingdom’s cities will be provided with hi-tech devices to control such violations.
The Traffic Department has urged all the drivers to adhere to the traffic system and abide by the general safety instructions and safe driving on the roads, noting that the use of the phone while driving is one of the causes of the accidents that claimed the lives of many innocent people, and that the safety belt, thanks to God, mitigates the serious injuries that may result of traffic accidents.
