Avoid Last Minute Trips, Police Advise Motorists

A recent police report shows that five people lost their lives in road traffic accidents during the 2019 President’s Day holidays as compared to six who died in the same period last year. Director of traffic, senior assistant commissioner Katlholo Mosimanegape told The Monitor that motorists ought to plan their trips ahead of time to avoid unnecessary accidents on the roads.

Mosimanegape said most people have the habit of taking last minute trips and usually travel at night under the influence of alcohol, which put their lives at risk.  He said whilst out drinking, people have the habit of driving from one place to another. Mosimanegape said usually when people are out celebrating, getting together with their friends or families especially on holidays, fatalities start to go up.
