Dear Readers,

On 17 march 2009 my sister was on the way to university. It was last day of university and she was on the way with her friend. Two hours later we received call from hospital that she had an accident and we rush to the hospital. Four hours later my sister passed away due to operation where she lost blood.

Getting the bits and pieces together , the conclusion was the car on u-turn on highway E11 was responsible for the accident. She was on left lane and the car on u-turn hit her , on impact she hit the tree beside the u-turn.

Close u-turn

This is a humble request to close the u-turns on E11 opposite the RAK police stations, the lane which is 2 lane is very prone to reckless drivers. The average speed on the lane is 80 . I have personally been to the u-turn and it was very hard to determine the speed of incoming vehicle due to angle which can mistime the turn.

There have been many accidents before in this place one was a year before my sister's accident   http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/traffic-transport/ten-hurt-in-seven-car-pile-up-outside-rak-police-station-1.92015
Many of accidents there didn't make it to news.


I humbly request all the readers to sign the petition so we can save lives by prevention of accidents. The petition shall be forwarded to Traffic and prosecution department in RAK.

Please visit http://www.ripsister.com for updates on petition and case.

We the undersigned urge the authorities in Traffic and Licensing Department to close the u-turns on E11 highway in Ras-Al-Khaimah, UAE to prevent reckless drivers from endangering the lives of others.

On 17th march 2009 my sister was on her way to last day in university when a car mistimed the u-turn and hit my sisters car , my sister's car then impacted a tree. Four hours later my sister was dead in the hospital after loosing blood in the operation.

There have been many accidents on the site before. Here is an archive of the accident which gravely injured 10 people due to culprit mistiming the u-turn.

The average speed of the cars in E11 is around 80 kph which can cause a series of fatal accidents if a car mistimes in u-turn.

Here is the location of the accident

I humbly request the authorities in  Traffic and Licensing Department to save lives and prevent accidents by closing  u-turns on E11. Prevention is always better than exposing and jeopardizing lives of many innocent people.
