Speeding is reckless and irresponsible behaviour that puts the driver’s life and the lives of passengers, pedestrians, and other road users at risk. It can lead to devastating consequences, including loss of life, and serious injuries. Drivers are urged to obey speed limits and drive responsibly to avoid spending their holidays behind bars.
Be responsible on the road, supporting the #projectEDWARD initiative, which aims for Every Day Without A Road Death, as part of the Festive Season Road Safety Campaign.
