Foggy Days are here again – Do’s and Don’ts When Driving in Foggy Conditions
õ While driving under foggy weather, motorists should reduce the speed gradually and drive at a controlled speed that fits the circumstances.
õ Motorists should make sure that all the lights of the vehicle are in good working condition, the instructions read.
õ They should use low lights as the head lights reflect water drops in the fog, thus making visibility difficult.
õ Motorists are advised to switch on the fog lights if available in the car and be patient avoiding overtaking and changing lanes.
õ The motorists have been advised to follow the traffic signals on the road and drive at the right end of the road and not in the middle.

Dubai Cares Water Bucket Walk Event – Friday, 20th November 2009
Dubai Cares Water Bucket Walk Event – Friday, 20th November 2009
Dear Supporter,
November 20, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the United Nations’ Universal Children’s Day. On this important global occasion, Dubai Cares invites you to participate in the Water Bucket Walk, a symbolic walk-a-thon in support of children who do not have access to clean drinking water in schools around the world. Most of us are not aware that children in developing countries walk, on average, more than 6 km every day to collect water that is likely to make them sick, thus preventing them from attending school.
The Water Bucket Walk will give the UAE community the opportunity to experience a fraction of the difficulties children in developing countries face on a daily basis, by walking 3 km carrying a bucket much like a child in a rural community would do. Each participant’s entry fee of AED 30 will provide one child with clean drinking water for one year!
Here are the details:
When: Friday November 20th, 2009
Time: Pre-registration: 08:00 A.M. – 09:00 A.M.
Walk-a-thon: 09:00 A.M.
Where: Registration will take place in Jumeirah Beach Park and the walk-a-thon will commence on Jumeirah Beach Road.
Entrance Fee: AED 30/ per person
The AED 30 fee is equal to the amount it would take to sponsor one child’s access to clean drinking water for one year. As such, every person participating in the Water Bucket Walk will be representing one child’s access to clean drinking water for one year!
Please note that every participant will receive a Dubai Cares t-shirt and bucket.
Children under the age of 5 will be exempt from any fees.
