It aims to help reduce road mishaps, disability cases and injuries by spreading awareness of the dangers.
The agreement was signed by Abdulaziz Abu Harba, director general of the RAC, and Sulaiman Al-Mansour, executive director of the Allah Yatik Khairha initiative.
Harba said the initiative is important in explaining the serious dangers of accidents, expressing hope that the RAC’s support will help activate the initiative and make it succeed in achieving its goal of reducing accidents.
