The Ministry of Interior has warned motorists against endangering the lives of delivery service workers, as it has detected negative practices committed by some drivers against them, including infringement of their right to the road and sudden deviation, which endangers their lives.

Traffic studies stated that injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents are 35 times higher than those caused by car accidents, while people who drive without wearing a protective helmet are four times more likely to fracture the head than those who wear it.
