He said that study had showed drivers’ actions contributed to a staggering 94 per cent of all Road Traffic Crashes (RTCs).

According to him, reckless driving is a major contributor to road accidents in the FCT, and the mayors are determined to tackle the menace head-on.

“This programme focuses specifically on drivers because drivers’ actions, whether it’s something a driver did, like speeding, or something they didn’t do, such as not paying attention to the driving task are responsible for most crashes.

“As part of the safety drive, the VIO mayors will deploy teams of inspectors to major highways and intersections to monitor compliance with traffic laws.

“Motorists caught violating traffic regulations be will face penalties, including fines, suspension of vehicle licenses, and mandatory safety seminars,”.

Suberu said that the VIO mayors would partner with local communities and stakeholders to promote road safety awareness and encourage responsible driving habits.

He emphasised that safety was a collective responsibility and urged motorists to join hands with the VIO mayors to make the roads safer.
