The two traffic officers reminded the number 72 minibus operators of the devastating consequences of not adhering to the traffic rules and the irresponsible use of the roadways.
According to a release from GPF, the officers alluded that road safety is a shared responsibility. They highlighted several key safety concerns such as: dangers of faulty packing, safety of passengers while travelling in minibuses, defensive driving, driving under the influence, and proper code of conduct, which includes how the drivers and conductors dress and speak to passengers.
The operators applauded the officers for a timely initiative and raised some concerns which were addressed by Assistant Superintendent Clarke and Inspector Boyce.
The officers said they have an open-door policy as the Commissioner reminded ranks that GPF is a contemporary Force, which resulted in the Traffic Officers sharing their mobile numbers to build partnerships and make roadways safer.
“Together, we can help keep our roads safe and secure,” Traffic Officer Raun Clarke echoed.
