He added that the booklet would remain useful to spread the knowledge of traffic culture in all Arab countries. Dr Al Kubaisi appreciated the MoI for its concern for the blind.
Things that make you hmmmm.........
I always take Rizks with me to tell me which signs are coming up
LOL
The traffic department should first focus on teaching people who can actually see what the road signs mean.
It's very important that the blind drivers at least know the traffic signs. So God will, they are going to obey them, too.
