UAE and Texas ink MoU on driving licence recognition and replacement

UAE : Despite tech’s advances, road deaths persist. The World Health Organization reports over 1.19 million annual road crashes (about 3,700 deaths/day), with half of them involving vulnerable users (pedestrians, cyclists, etc.).

A common measure of road safety is the number of fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants. Some countries have cracked the code by reducing fatalities to 1-3 per 100k inhabitants. As per WHO, in Norway, the figure stands at 1.50, at 1.60 in Dubai, and rising to 2.10 in Sweden. Other countries are well behind, registering more than 35 fatalities/100k inhabitants.
