According to him, drivers must desist from taking alcohol before driving and also stop making calls while using the road since it is one of the major causes of road accidents in the country. He said drivers should also obey the road signs and directions on the road to prevent them from crashing into other vehicles on the road. He called on heavy truck drivers to desist from overloading their vehicles since it could weigh the vehicle and could be bait for accidents on the road. DCOP Ayiih said, road safety is a collective effort and drivers must obey the police when they are stopped on the road since it is part of the duties of the police to ensure safety on the road.
