Buckle up, avoid speeding
Police have urged all drivers to adhere to traffic safety regulations, including avoiding speeding and ensuring seat belt use for all passengers. The Police stressed that allowing children to move around in a moving vehicle also poses grave risks, which is why all children must be strapped in the rear seat. In addition, motorists must maintain sufficient distance from surrounding vehicles.
