2-      Careless drivers were the second topic to talk about. Rashed thinks we should set strict fines; Yousef thinks that the fines are good but how to get careless drivers to follow the rules.
3-      Drivers from different cultures: Omar said because the rules are different from one country to another,  the foreign drivers make mistakes sometimes. Yousef thinks they need to get some training, but Rashed thinks it’s not a serious problem.
4-      Drivers with different ages: Rashed said young drivers get angry with old drivers as old drivers get angry with them; Yousef thought we can manage this problem by training.

1-      We should focus on theory lessons to increase the knowledge of teenagers which can be done by schools and at Emirates driving school.
2-      Fines are good now but we will ask the police department to Intensify police patrols.
3-      Foreign drivers and even local drivers will enroll in courses to let everyone know who is next to him in the road and how to avoid others’ mistakes.
4-      The theory classes will be mixed with different ages so they understand each other.
5-      We will ask the department of transport to get ready for emergencies and provide other options if there are instructions which must be done on any road.
