With reference to the article "No one feels safe on the roads in Jeddah anymore" By Khaled Almaeena (Nov. 30), yes, it is a very true account of the current traffic situation in Jeddah. The traffic cops have to be trained in various aspects of public safety and behavioral skills. May Allah save and protect us all. Sohail, Online response Very good article which explained the difficulties faced by drivers in Jeddah. It is unfortunate that many drivers lack ethics in driving. They think the road is for them only. They violate traffic rule as if they own the streets. The strange thing is that when they travel abroad they adhere to the rules and regulations. Dr. Ali Alghamdi, Online response The motto of almost every police corps in the world is to serve the public. But as the author says this is not done by sitting in a car and playing with a cell phone while traffic offenses are done right under the police officer's nose. The police must be active in correcting reckless drivers to prevent more unnecessary deaths or harm on the road. Barthol, Online response
