After the issuance of the new traffic law, it has become the preoccupation of all in Bahrain and the modern street, and social media and people comments on it between supporters and opponents, and we say that the law is in fact an important station in the daily life march in order to ensure the safety of citizens and residents, which makes adherence to traffic laws an urgent necessity to protect lives and property and achieve the smooth flow of traffic, and this is what happened in the new law where it came more strive and clear in dealing with violations Traffic, and the law has stressed the penalties for violations that constitute a direct threat to the safety of people, such as exceeding the prescribed speed or using the phone while driving or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and this is what she lives daily.
Undoubtedly, the law aims to protect the human being and his life first and foremost, and therefore the ultimate goal is to enhance the culture of voluntary commitment through awareness and social responsibility, not to focus on the punitive side only, the main goal is not the punishment in itself but rather the protection of lives above all, and from here the success of the law is not only measured by the number of recorded fines, but with a decrease in the number of accidents, injuries and human and material losses, so the commitment of drivers and pedestrians is almost Whether by law it represents a real partnership in building a safe society, as the driver who adheres to the specified speed, and gives priority to the crossing of pedestrians, and the pedestrians who adhere to their allocated corridors, all contribute to formulating a civilized scene that reflects the awareness of the Bahraini society known as a conscious and committed society, especially in adhering to traffic laws and this is a reality compared to behaviors in the road in some neighboring countries because of what we see from the lack of commitment to the law and recession Obviously, and this is what we do not see in Bahrain clearly or as a widespread phenomenon.
The bottom line is from the experiences of many countries that the laws, no matter how accurate, remain powerless if the commitment does not turn into a daily behavior stemming from conviction and awareness, therefore the challenge today lies in the consolidation of the culture of traffic as part of the culture of daily life, not just a fear of punishment, and the new law is only a clear message from the state that the safety of man is above all considerations and that it is a collective responsibility that requires everyone to respect the laws and traffic systems to remain the road Safety for everyone, when we adhere to the law, we not only protect ourselves, but we make a shield of safety for those around us, and from here we must all without exception to make respect for the traffic law a daily habit, life is more expensive than being lost in a moment of recklessness on the road, this law is not merely legislation that regulates traffic, but rather an expression of a national vision that seeks to protect lives and reduce accidents and build a more conscious society, Traffic discipline reflects Bahrain’s civilized image in front of the world, and confirms that man is the focus and goal of development.
The whisper of the new law is not a penalty as much as it is safety, so let us make it to adhere to a shield that protects our souls, and let it respect it daily.
