Practicing safe driving can result in lower insurance rates and fewer accidents, but in Dubai obeying the rules of the road can also get people a new car.  Practicing safe driving can result in lower insurance rates and fewer accidents, but in Dubai obeying the rules of the road can also get people a car. Recently, two individuals with exemplary driving records were awarded sparkly new rides.  The lavish gifts are part of the emirate’s White Points’ initiative, a safe driving campaign that was launched in 2012.   In the time since, they’ve given out a number of freebies, which, in addition to autos, include hotel stays and gift vouchers.   Eligibility requirements for the valuable prizes include keeping a clean driving record for one year, having a Dubai-issued driver’s license, and registering at least one vehicle.  The names of all who qualify are put into a drawing, and the luckiest of them all end up with the vehicles.  Historically, only one car is given, but this year’s raffle included an extra one.  Both recipients are quite excited, but it did take one of them a little time to process the news.  The woman whose name was drawn first said that when she got the call that she had won a Hyundai Veloster, she was sure it was a prank.
