18 lives lost on our roads so far this year

18 lives have been lost in road accidents this year.

Chief Operations Officer Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police Livai Driu says a number of victims were pedestrians.

A/ACP Driu is again calling on everyone's support in complying with road safety regulations.

He says yes, drivers have their part to play, but so do pedestrians adding that attitudes must change if we are to avoid accidents and fatalities and understand that advisories issued and the laws in place are there for everyone's safety.

The Chief Operations Officer is urging people to report bad road behaviour including that of police drivers and they will take the necessary disciplinary measures if any Police officer is not complying as they are expected to be leading by example.

A/ACP Driu also called on passengers travelling in public service vehicles to speak up or report bad driving behaviour.
