Mrs May Obiri-Yeboah, Executive Director of the NRSC who led a team on an outreach programme in Cape Coast, encouraged passengers not to hesitate to report indiscipline drivers on the roads to the police. She said passengers must ensure that drivers adhered to road safety regulations as the surest way to reduce the number of road fatalities in the region. The team interacted with passengers and commercial drivers at the Tantri main lorry station and also along the highways on the need to wear seat belts, check drivers against speeding and report suspected drunk drivers to authorities, before setting off on their journeys. She warned that anyone found to have contravened road safety regulations regardless of their status would be punished to serve as a deterrent to others.
