Presentation observation Name: Hamdan Mohammed Thaiban ID number: H00228719 Venue: W-104 Date and time: 25 /11 / 2012 -10:45 Hamdan introduced his presentation in a simple way; his presentation was about his favorite football club Real Madrid. He made a weak eye contact with the audience because he was nervous a little bit. He wasn’t depending on notes or the screen; his explanation was based on the pictures; also he was standing at the right side of the board and that caused a small obstruction of vision. He didn’t speak clearly it was an uneven presentation. The slides were in a good shape and sequence; also they didn’t contain a lot of details, only a few words at the bottom. His beginning was very calm but in the middle the situation changed; he became nervous and lost his focus on the main topic. Near the end he was back to the right track by putting a lot of good pictures of Real Madrid teams in different periods of the history. He answered all the questions successfully. Finally his presentation was good in general, but he needed more self-confidence. 186 words by Hamdan Kareem Ahmed Alnuaimi H00230913 CJI

First we will start with the number of car accidents with Hamden Kareem”.

 

Hamdan Kareem handed out some sheets:” Hello gentlemen, statistics of car accidents and their causes are shown in this histogram in 2011-2012 and separated into 3 groups. The first group is accidents that occurred in January to April. As you can see speeding and ignoring traffic rules are the major causes of accidents with the total number above 8000 accidents. According to records, no accidents were caused from poor road quality. In the second group which was in summer vacation, it was observed that most of the accidents were in the highway roads and they fall in 3 major points, speeding, poor car maintenance and poor road maintenance. In the last group Sept-Dec, The police patrols and Saaed records showed a lot of surprising facts; most of the accidents could be avoided if the drivers were obeying traffic rules”.

 

 

An example of poor road maintenance danger was given by Khalid: “I was driving my car last Friday at 11:00pm near my home and there was a hole in the street which couldn't be seen clearly at that moment and I almost lost control but fortunately I was driving around 35km/h”.

Another example was given by Hamed:” Our own family driver tried reach to his destination on time by driving on the road shoulder, so he was caught by police and the car was impounded for 30 days with 6 black points and a 600 Dhr fine”.  

 

Several questions were asked by Mr. Hedley about these situations and why do people put their own lives in danger!

Hamden said:” a survey was done and the results were:

1-      46% said to not get late at work.

2-      29% said to avoid traffic.

3-      14% said they like to drive fast!

4-      11% others

 

Chairman of the meeting Khalid moved on to the results of accidents:” Our nation has lost a lot of future builders in these accidents. In the second sheet you can have a look at number of lost souls in last year separated into 3 groups depending on their ages and the causes of death:

1-      A total of 124 persons passed away because of speeding; most were between 15 and 30.

2-      A total of 75 persons passed away because of poor car maintenance, mainly between 31-45.

3-      A total of 118 persons passed away because of careless driving especially between 15 and 30.

4-      A total of 102 persons passed away because of ignoring traffic rules.

5-      A total of 90 persons passed away because of poor road maintenance .

 

 

                         

     

              The main reason that I have arranged this meeting is to reduce the number of car accidents and to improve our society and provide a safe environment for others drivers.

 

 Mubarak Salem introduced himself and said:” We can’t imagine a happy life while a lot of families and victims are suffering in these situations. According to experts’ researchs, the points that I’m going to offer them now helped a lot to reduce accidents around the world. The first point is…

 

1-      Increase the number of awareness campaigns and do them in different languages.

3-      Rewards for ideal driving which is a good motivation.

4-      Increase the number of police patrols so they can take faster action.
