Alida Jones - CEO of Drive More Safely was also instudio to tell us more about road safety
and the urgency of changing one’s habits on our roads as the festive season is
fast approaching. This past Sunday November 18th marked "World Remembrance Day for Road Crash Victims". The day is commemorated
annually on the 3rd Sunday of November to rem
ember those who lost
their lives on the roads of the world. Drive More Safely aims to educate road
users using campaigns, educational literature, motivational talks and a fully
equipped training centre for learner drivers. It urges government to put the
same amount of urgency into road safety as they did for the past 20 odd years
for HIV/AIDS because road crashes is stealing future leaders and nothing is
being said about this. Individuals can make a difference by committing to the
following 10 Road Safety commitments to use a seatbelt, Wear a helmet on a
motorcycle, Drive at a safe speed suitable for the conditions, Not drive under
the influence of alcohol or drugs, Not use a mobile phone when driving, Be
visible as a pedestrian or cyclist, Know and respect traffic laws, Maintain the
vehicle in a good condition, Be licensed and trained for the vehicle you drive
and Know how to react in case of a crash. For further information you can
