The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has launched a campaign to reduce road accidents during the 2024 ember months, urging travelers to report reckless driving.
The campaign, tagged “Speak Up Against Dangerous Driving: Crashes Kill More Passengers Than Drivers,” aims to encourage passengers to speak up against dangerous driving and caution drivers who violate road rules.
- Key Highlights of the Campaign:
Encouraging Passengers to Speak Up: FRSC Sector Commander Maxwell Plateau emphasized the need for behavioral change among drivers and encouraged passengers to caution drivers who violate road rules. - Safety Measures: The campaign includes press briefings, town hall meetings, flier distribution, and motorcade carnivals to sensitize the public.
- Governor’s Support: Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang commended FRSC’s efforts and assured that positive changes will soon be made to ensure safer roads.
- Union’s Commitment: The National Union of Road Transport Workers chairman Yakubu Dalyop pledged support for road safety efforts, including setting up a task force to inspect vehicles and ensure passenger manifests are completed.
By reporting reckless driving and adhering to road safety guidelines, travelers can contribute to a safer ember month period. Remember, safe arrival is everyone’s responsibility.
