The Director of Operations Department, Public Security Sector, Colonel Abdullah Al-Mutairi, has informed that the law of minor accidents has resulted in the reduced time period of the documentary cycle for traffic accidents, which lasted up to two years in the past, and is currently reduced to only two weeks, reported Al-Jarida.
Since the activation of the law of minor accidents, Al-Mutairi said that the number of minor traffic accidents has reached nearly 111,000 accidents within the period of 2 years and 4 months, at the rate of about 150 accidents per day.
He clarified in an interview with Al-Jarida that the law only includes accidents that result in material damage and does not include those that result in injuries or deaths, or accidents associated with committing serious traffic violations.
He added that the law of minor accidents also contributed to the elimination of traffic jams and crowds resulting from accidents that are limited to material damage.
