It is instructive that the acting director traffic and road safety, Commissioner of Police Bazil Mugisha, yesterday warned motorists against reckless driving during the holiday season.
It is also a great thought that the police are returning the Fika Salama checkpoints to check speeding, recklessness and careless driving that usually lead to road carnage.
According to 2018 Police Crime Report, about 300 people died in road accidents while 900 were injured during the festive season alone. The other causes of these accidents range from driver fatigue to poor mechanical condition of vehicles.
It is during this season that many people travel to the villages to celebrate the festive season with their family members after a largely stressful year. We have noted before that because of many people travelling, public transport proprietors tend to carry more than the capacity and flout many other traffic rules regulations.
