This campaign comes at a time when much concern is being raised about the carnage on our roadways. Two days ago, President David Granger told the Nation that some 114 persons, nine of whom were children, were killed in 97 road accidents for the year so far, with 21 deaths recorded in November alone.
“The record is grave,” the president said, while noting that three out of five fatalities are young persons between the ages of 16 and 42 years.
