Each year there are about 10,000 car crashes in Oman resulting in 680 deaths and 7550 injuries. The causes of these crashes include speed, driver neglect, tiredness, drunk driving, overtaking, weather, sudden stops, safe distance, improper acts, vehicle condition, road condition and cell 
phone use. Oman’s road traffic death rate is 28 per 100,000 population which is far higher than the global average of 19 killed per 100,000. Driving in Oman said to be quite easy, especially since the completion of a six-lane superhighway connecting Muscat and Nizwa and Sur. Many people drive 4 wheel drives to see the scenic countryside
In The Sultanate, an average of 14 deaths per WEEK are recorded due to road traffic accidents. Injured persons number over 100 per week. Only God almighty knows, how many of these will be up and about again as useful working citizens, and the rest will become a burden to themselves, their families and Society in general.Major reasons of many accidents, in my personal opinion, are as follows:-Lack of understanding of the mechanism and discipline of the Motor Driving practice (How far does a vehicle need to stop when brakes applied at a certain speed)(how much distance we need to keep between two vehicles running at speed) How
attentive we must be when on the motor way) etc.etc.
-Lack of respect and adherence to road signs.(these were put at a great expense and after many years of study of road use and road users safety)
-Non existence of qualified driving instructors to teach any safe driving methods.
-No respect or consideration for other road users.(the attitude of ME first)
-Allowing youth at age 18 to be in possession of and driving very sophisticated and powerful vehicles.
-The occasional BEER and other Alcoholic drink and drive.
The list is endless, and it is really a very sad situation. We are losing many young and innocent lives on road accidents, depriving the Country of very much needed talents ant use4ful citizens.
