Striking information According to the Qatar traffic department statistics : The number of vehicles on Qatar’s congested roads. Some 61,666 more vehicles were added to the streets in 2013, an increase of 7.6 percent from 2011. That brings the total number of vehicles up to 879,039 – more than 200,000 more cars than in 2010.
Why is it an issue? No law on child passenger restraint under the age of 10 not allowed in the front : not enforced Not used except in very small section of the community No promotion of its benefit { until recently } No education/ training of its benefit and use {until recently} Perceived by parents as an “inconvenient” in car item
