Safe driving campaign to launch

Police will hold a two-week safe-driving campaign October 24 to November 6. Officers will distribute leaflets to drivers of public service and goods vehicles, and pedestrians, and take stringent enforcement action against traffic offences like speeding, light jumping, using mobile phones while driving and non-use of seatbelts. The public should report undesirable driving behaviour to Police or the Transport Complaints Unit. Provisional Police figures show 11,253 traffic accidents involving casualties occurred in the first nine months of the year, up 2% on the same period last year. The accidents mainly resulted from tailgating, losing control, speeding, careless lane changing, negligence and ignoring traffic signals.
