Road traffic accidents can be the result of driving skills and attitudes, but they can also be affected by business models and practices. For example, excessive working hours may cause fatigue; ‘incentive-based compensation’ may lead some drivers to violate speed limits or to drive recklessly; or being expected to be connected at all times may mean workers feel they have to respond to work messages while driving.
This video animation targets delivery riders, bus drivers and construction workers in Qatar.
