Governor engages youth in debate on safe driving

Governor of Jeddah Prince Mishal Bin Majed engaged young people in safe driving during the recently-concluded Gulf Traffic Week, an initiative launched by Saudi Aramco under the theme “Your life’s most precious message” at Al-Andalus Mall here.

Gulf Traffic Week educated visitors about bad driving habits, which included speeding, using mobile phones while driving, driving in the opposite direction, running red lights and not wearing seat belts.

A number of government security agencies and private companies joined the initiative.

Visitors and participants praised the initiative by Saudi Aramco as a meaningful contribution by conveying a beneficial message to society.

Director of Government Affairs for Saudi Aramco in the Western Region Sulaiman Al-Jard briefed Prince Mishal and other guests about the company’s significant initiative for Saudi society in general and the youth in particular. The weeklong program comprised a number of awareness lectures and seminars, which focused on guiding young people to be cautious and abide by traffic regulations.
