Dubai Police Launches ‘Drive with Awareness’ Competition With Nissan Kicks to Win
By Heba
Dubai Police has launched the **Drive with Awareness** campaign, combining road-safety education with an interactive online competition offering participants the chance to win Nissan Kicks car.
The initiative encourages motorists and other road users to test their knowledge of traffic rules while learning how to avoid dangerous driving behaviours such as sudden lane changes, tailgating, speeding and mobile-phone use behind the wheel.
The competition began on **June 19, 2026**, and will remain open until **July 9, 2026**.
**What is the Drive with Awareness campaign?**
Drive with Awareness is a new traffic-safety initiative launched by Dubai Police to encourage safer and more responsible behaviour on the emirate’s roads.
The campaign combines educational videos, digital awareness content and an interactive traffic quiz. It focuses on driving behaviours that frequently contribute to accidents, injuries and fatalities.
The campaign is organised by Dubai Police’s General Department of Traffic and General Department of Community Happiness in partnership with Nissan Middle East and AWR Automotive.
**How does the competition work?**
Participants complete an online quiz containing **10 questions** about traffic laws, road safety and responsible driving.
The competition is designed to educate as well as test knowledge. When a participant submits an incorrect response, the platform provides the correct answer and an explanation.
This allows people to improve their understanding of traffic rules while completing the quiz.
Eligible participants who complete the competition can enter the prize draw.
**What prizes can participants win?**
Nissan Kicks is being offered as the competition’s grand prizes.
The vehicles are provided through the campaign’s partnership with Nissan Middle East and AWR Automotive, Nissan’s exclusive distributor in Dubai, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates.
The winners will be selected through a draw after the campaign period, subject to the official competition rules.
**How to participate**
Participants can access the competition through the official Dubai Police online survey platform.
Open the link with Awareness competition link shared through the verified Dubai Police or Nissan social-media accounts. https://survey.dubaipolice.gov.ae/capp/#/en/survey/preview/T1JbE88RUQjzuBk5
Complete the requested participant details.
Answer all 10 traffic-awareness questions.
Review the educational explanations shown during the quiz.
Submit the completed entry before **July 9, 2026**.
Participants should read the official eligibility requirements, privacy notice and prize-draw terms before submitting their details.
**What driving behaviours does the campaign cover?**
The campaign focuses on several dangerous behaviours that can cause serious road accidents.
These include:
Excessive speeding.
Sudden swerving and abrupt lane changes.
Tailgating and failure to maintain a safe distance.
Mobile-phone use while driving.
General distraction and inattentiveness.
Failure to stay within designated lanes.
Unsafe stopping that puts other road users at risk.
Safety awareness for delivery riders.
The educational videos explain why these behaviours are dangerous and show the correct practices drivers should follow.
**Sudden lane changes remain a major accident cause**
Dubai Police data shows that sudden lane deviation caused **1,928 accidents** over the previous two years.
Abrupt swerving can leave nearby drivers with little time to react, particularly on highways and roads with fast-moving traffic.
Drivers should check their mirrors and blind spots, use indicators early and change lanes only when there is enough safe space.
**Tailgating linked to more than 1,500 accidents**
Failure to maintain a safe following distance was linked to **1,529 accidents** during the same period.
Tailgating reduces the time available to react when the vehicle ahead slows down or stops suddenly.
Motorists should maintain a safe gap and increase that distance during poor visibility, rain or heavy traffic.
**Speeding remains part of the awareness drive**
Dubai Police recorded another **46 accidents linked to speeding** over the period covered by the campaign data.
Driving above the posted speed limit increases stopping distance and makes collisions more severe.
The campaign reminds drivers that road signs, lane rules and speed limits are designed to protect everyone using the road.
**Road deaths fell by 19%**
Dubai Police reported a **19% reduction in traffic fatalities between 2024 and 2025**.
Authorities linked the improvement to stronger enforcement, smart monitoring technology, traffic operations and ongoing public-awareness campaigns.
Drive with Awareness aims to build on this progress by helping motorists understand how individual driving choices affect wider road safety.
**Why Dubai Police is using an interactive quiz**
Traffic-awareness messages can sometimes be ignored when they are delivered only as warnings.
The quiz format gives participants an active role by asking them to think about road rules and choose an answer.
Providing explanations for incorrect responses also helps turn mistakes into learning opportunities.
The chance to win a car is intended to encourage broader public participation while keeping the campaign’s main focus on safer driving.
**Is the competition free?**
The campaign has been announced as a public interactive awareness competition.
Participants should access it only through the official Dubai Police survey platform or links shared by verified campaign partners.
Avoid unofficial websites, messages or accounts asking for payment or sensitive banking details in exchange for competition entry.
**What drivers should remember**
Use indicators before changing lanes.
Keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Do not use a handheld mobile phone while driving.
Follow posted speed limits and road signs.
Avoid aggressive overtaking or sudden swerving.
Stay focused even during familiar daily routes.
Allow delivery riders and other vulnerable road users enough space.
Road safety depends on consistent behaviour, not only on avoiding fines or cameras.
**Why this matters**
The Drive with Awareness competition makes road-safety education more engaging by combining useful information with the chance to win one of two Nissan vehicles.
For participants, it is an opportunity to test their knowledge and learn more about traffic rules.
For Dubai, the campaign supports the wider goal of reducing preventable accidents and creating safer roads through education, technology and responsible driving.
The competition remains open until **July 9, 2026**, so motorists interested in participating should use the official campaign channel and complete the quiz before the deadline.
