KUWAIT - Violations fell by 71 percent from last Tuesday's numbers since the new traffic laws came to effect yesterday, said the Interior Ministry on Wednesday.
A statement by the MoI's Public Relations and Security Media Department revealed that the announced figure reflected the authority's efforts to curb down violations and accidents and create a safer road experience for all.
Not wearing seat belts, use of phones while driving, non-compliance with road lanes, and wrong-way driving were amongst the violations included in the number, it added.
The MoI affirmed that most road users were complying with the new traffic laws and it commended citizens and resident alike for their cooperation.
