Do all that is possible to make driving safe and pleasurable

Data from the National Transport and Road Safety Authority (NTSA) shows a worrying trend in road accidents. While in the period between September 2016 and September 2017 those who died in road accidents were 2,053, the number has risen to 2,214 in the September 2017/2018 period.  Those who sustained serious injuries increased from 2,882 in 2017 to 3,302 in 2018.

These statistics paint a gloomy picture for road users whose safety is greatly jeopardised, yet it is by factors that can be avoided with a little conscious effort. This rise is attributed to among others, negligence by pedestrians, most of whom chose to cross roads at non-designated spots. Cases have been reported where pedestrians have been killed right under foot bridges.
