There is no doubt that preserving the integrity of lives and the integrity of the bodies is one of the criteria and goals that enact laws and legislation to preserve them, and traffic laws in Bahrain include legal articles that preserve them, and we stop in this period decreed by a law issued by His Majesty King Hamad Ben Issa Al Khalifa, the king of the country, may God protect and preserve him, No. (30) of 2025 to amend some provisions of the Traffic Law issued by Law No. (23) of 2014, And that is based on the offer of the Prime Minister, which regulates everything related to vehicles, driving licenses, traffic rules and penalties, and new amendments came into effect in August 2025 to impose severe penalties on dangerous violations such as driving under the influence of intoxicants or drugs, and exceeding speed, and driving in the opposite of the traffic, all these legislations were issued to maintain the integrity of the lives of citizens and residents, and these amendments came after many violations that occurred It led to fatal accidents that caused great damage to the families of the injured, and this procedure is a deterrent action for the irresponsible actions of some of the reckless drivers who cause harm to people and public and private property, and these measures come within the efforts made by the Ministry of Interior to regulate traffic and maintain security and safety in the roads. The Ministry has taken these measures quickly and firmly, indicating its keenness on the safety of people and security in the roads.
It is known that the laws apply to everyone, but some legislation gives powers to those in charge of implementing the laws the right to replace the penalties with other procedures, and here we have a pause with a age group that has a society with respect and appreciation, which is the category The quality of the elderly life so that they are able to rely on themselves in eliminating their needs, including the driving of the car to move and eliminate their need, and this stage is characterized by several characteristics that occur on the human body and motor and mental powers, and among these forgetfulness is, and the slow reactions in some circumstances, and sometimes distracting, and these symptoms vary in their strength from one age to another, so we find that some of the elderly may forget to link The belt, especially in the inner streets of residential neighborhoods when they go out to spend interests inside their neighborhood, such as going to the mosque or grocery near their home, or they may forget to light the lamps or have to stand in narrow situations, and it is known that the market from the elderly finds them avoid speed in driving, they are slow in their context, which relieves the damages resulting from some traffic violations such as forgetting a belt Safety, and from here we hope to give privacy to the penalties against violators of this age group, which is not the result of recklessness, recklessness, disregard or intentionally, and this privacy is by replacing the penalties with other measures such as advice and guidance at the site of the violation or by obligating them to attend educational lectures on traffic, or reducing the value of violations to half of the value even if they exceed seven days in the law to pay the violation as a kind of concession that takes place It has the elderly, and I also hope that their use of the parking lots of the disabled does not consider a violation of the law, especially since in many cases we find these parking is not occupied, while you find that some elderly people suffer from difficulties in walking. They need to use these situations.
The elderly are our fathers and have the right to righteousness and care for us, and laws and legislation in the Kingdom of Bahrain have given many privileges for this age group so that some are called senior citizens, they deserve appreciation, as they have given their country and their families a lot of giving, may God protect our dear homeland and everyone who lives on his good land .. and you are safe.
