Campaign to Road Safety

Ahead of Christmas and New Year celebrations, Road Safety Ambassadors (RSAs) launched a special campaign yesterday aiming at raising awareness on road safety.

>The festive season is upon us, but it has yet again come in the company of the now all too familiar ogre in the form of preventable deaths and injuries on our roads.

About 30 years ago, while rallying down dirt tracks in the dead of night in a Daihatsu Charade, the rear left-hand wheel fell off.

Any measure that will help curb the carnage on our roads is truly welcome.
