The sector commander, who said that passengers must avoid doing anything that could distract drivers while on wheel, added that driving was a serious business that needed full concetraction.

According to him, road safety is a shared responbility and everybody needs to know that life is very important and sweet but the moment it is lost it is gone….

“Everybody has a role to play for us to ensure safe “ember” months. Drivers, passengers and pedestrians must shun behaviours or actions that could lead to crashes.

“So, passengers should report any driver that is driving above the speed limit because failure to do so, is actually endangering their life.

“We all know that more passengers die in the event of crashes than drivers because one driver will carries about eight or 14 passengers depending on the vehicle.

“So, as a passenger you have a responsibility and stop distracting the driver because driving is a serious business that requires full concetraction,” he said.
