Thursday, March 24, 2016
A comprehensive campaign launched by General Traffic Department last week resulted in the issuance of 32,345 citations, and impounding of 1,233 vehicles plus 14 motorbikes.
Traffic officers seized a wanted vehicle and referred 6 people to deportation for driving vehicles without driving license and detained 56 people, dealt with 1,644 traffic accidents in which six deaths were recorded alongside 244 injured people.
Public Relations and Security Media Department has since urged drivers to abide by traffic rules and regulations for their own safety and that of other roadusers, noting the campaign will continue in an indeterminate period to curb all negative trends on roads.
