THE start of the rainy season and a rise in road traffic fatalities have prompted the police to urge drivers to be more cautious.
In a news release on May 24, the police reminded all motorists to exercise extreme caution on the nation’s roads, “particularly in light of a rise in road traffic fatalities and the recent onset of the rainy season.”
It said, “With wet and slippery roads now a daily reality, the dangers of speeding are significantly heightened. Motorists are reminded that excessive speed greatly reduces reaction time, increases braking distance, and elevates the risk of serious collisions – often with fatal consequences.”
