Heads up, drivers! The General Department of Traffic has issued a clear warning: if you’re caught using your phone while driving, you could face fines between 500 and 900 SAR!

But the bigger issue isn’t just your wallet, it’s your safety and the safety of everyone on the road

Texting or scrolling while driving is not only a traffic violation, but it’s also a dangerous distraction. The department called it out for what it is: reckless behavior that puts you and others at serious risk of accidents.

In fact, they’ve pointed out that using a handheld phone behind the wheel is one of the leading causes of traffic accidents across the Kingdom.

That text or quick scroll is definitely NOT worth the damage it could cause. Stick to traffic laws, keep your eyes on the road, and save the texting for when you’re parked. Your safety, and everyone else’s, is worth it.
