PESSANGERS SHOULD NOT ALLOW THEMSELKVES TO BE KILLED BY STUBBORN DRIVERS-POLICE



PESSANGERS SHOULD NOT ALLOW THEMSELKVES TO BE KILLED BY STUBBORN DRIVERS-POLICE
Passengers have been urged to persistently caution drivers who speed when driving, to stop them before they collide/crash with other cars especially during this holiday.
Nkwawkwaw Divisional Police Commander Chief Superintendent James Safo Pepreh observed that most drivers use old tyres and to top it all they fail to observe the road signs and over speed.
 He expressed worry concerning passengers who refuse to caution drivers when they speed.
 He emphazied if passengers don’t speak, these stubborn drivers will end up killing them.

On the otherhand National Road Safety Commission (NRSC) is cautioning passengers not to pressurize drivers to speedwhen driving.
Director of Communication at the NRSC Kwame Attuahen admonished passengers who are on hurry to set off early if truely they dont fancy lateness, thus the way to bring on board the adhereance of most road saftey precaution.

 We managed to get some passengers to speak on they role in cautioning drivers who prefer to speed and overtake when driving. according to them some drivers fall deaf ear to their warnings as some even go to the extent of arguing with them unneccessarily till they finally alight at the destination. Others also spoke bitterly about commercial drivers saying that they are non-sensitive atimes, but afterall it's the passenger who has more right in the vehicle concerning his/her safety.
All things being equal some passenger also seem to agree with the unscrupulous acts of such drivers, according to a passenger they rather encourge the driver to speed when they know its soo wrong.

In an interview with some drivers they explained that the  passengers loud voice alone could set them boiling and so to make matters calm they tend to ignore all they noise behind them just to make sure they dont lose concentration. 
According to a driver we spoke with he cautioned commercial drivers we are too knowning to be careful anytime they choose to handle safety matters their way. Our advice; it pays to be patient check the speed.
