Motorists and Pedestrians Advised to be Cautious During Festive Season

Divisional Chief of Aflao-Teshie in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta region, who doubles as the national Chairman for Max Transport Union of Ghana, Torgbi Nii Kpambi Vedzesu V, has advised all road users to exercise restraint when going about their activities during the festive season.

He said the carnage and fatalities usually witnessed on the country’s roads during the yuletide season, can be minimized or avoided if road users especially commercial drivers exercised patience while conveying passengers to and from various destinations.

Torgbi Nii Kpambi Vedzesu gave the advice in an interview at Aflao, Wednesday.

He said many drivers, in their haste to cash in on the festive season, ignore traffic regulations and fail to observe road signs resulting in these avoidable carnages.

“We all know that the Christmas and new year season is here again, and many people, especially our commercial drivers would want to seize every opportunity to maximize their earnings – but let us not sacrifice precious lives all because of money. Let’s avoid overspending, wrongful overtaking and all reckless driving habits to forestall these accidents,” he said.

He expressed appreciation to all members of Max Transport Union and all it’s executives for their dedication and commitment to the cause of the union over the years and asked for God’s guidance and protection for them in the coming years.
