The seminar focused on linking the traffic awareness to human culture and charitable work and comparing the importance of vehicles in Qatar and its uses in the countries that Qatar Charity went to in terms of benefiting from the transportation of students, water, medicine, misconduct and its relation to traffic culture, and reasons that cause accidents and other topics.

Major General Mohammed Saad Al Kharji, Director General of the General Directorate of Traffic and Patrols of the Ministry of Interior expressed his pride to attend the symposium, stressing the importance of community partnership and cooperation between state institutions and its members for traffic safety, noting that everyone is responsible for preserving life and property when driving.

It includes information about traffic awareness and human culture and shows the importance of maintaining and using vehicles properly and optimally. He thanked the Public traffic for their efforts and participation in the 'Competitors' programme.

In his speech, Lt. Col. Jaber Mohammed Adeebeh, Assistant Director of Traffic Awareness Department, said that the rates of traffic accidents recorded in Qatar last year have declined significantly from the global rates.
