These crashes had to be resolved and thus the launch of this campaign to educate drivers and passengers.”
She continued by saying,”Safety on our road has become a key challenge and thus resulting in crashes of which these are preventable if cautions have been exercised. There has been a record of 9212 road crashes this year. All these cautions are as a result of the lack of education among road users.”
