Speaking to Citi News, the Acting Regional Head of the National Road Safety Authority, Victor Kojo Bilson urged drivers to adhere to road regulations to reduce carnage on our roads.
“Our advice to drivers is for them to adhere to mandated or posted speed limits on our highways. Sometimes, they blatantly ignore these, which end up causing road traffic crashes. As much as possible, drivers should avoid driving fatigued or under duress. In all these, defensive driving is key and we seek to let every driver know that when you do not take care of yourself, you should not expect the other to take care of you,” he noted.
