He said when drivers operate within the stipulated speed limit, less number of crashes would be recorded on the roads.
“There is need for motorists to shun speeding, overloading, and recklessness while plying highways, particularly in the last month of the year.

“Speeding appears to be the leading cause of road traffic crashes and we must make conscious efforts to address it.
“By the time drivers maintain the stipulated speed limit, we will record few or no crashes, and even when an accident occurs, we will record minimal injuries or deaths.
