Dubai is witnessing a significant increase in women drivers, indicating a positive trend in road safety. According to the Ministry of Interior’s open data, in 2024, the number of driving licences issued to women soared to 105,568, compared to only 6,903 licences issued to men. This remarkable difference highlights a growing interest and participation of women in driving across the emirate.
Experts suggest that women drivers tend to be more cautious and less involved in road accidents, which could lead to safer streets in Dubai. The increased number of women drivers reflects changing social dynamics and empowerment in the region.
Many women are embracing the responsibility and freedom that comes with driving, contributing to the evolving transportation culture in the UAE. Authorities continue to support this trend by ensuring:
- Safe driving education
- Awareness programs
The rise in female driving also aligns with Dubai’s vision of becoming a smart and inclusive city, where everyone can move freely and with confidence. This positive shift could inspire other regions to encourage women drivers and improve overall traffic safety.
Such developments demonstrate progress towards equality and safer road environments. Stay tuned to Questiqa World News for more latest updates.
