Police issue warning to motorists - Police are appealing to all road users to exercise extreme caution and extra care when driving over the
Easter Holidays.
Police message to drivers and riders is very simple.
If you speed, drink and drive, fail to wear your seatbelt, drive carelessly or dangerously, you run the
real risk of killing or seriously injuring yourself, your passengers or some other innocent road user.
Everyone must take into account increased traffic levels over the holiday period and heed the road safety
message.
Police will continue enforce the laws to make our roads safer, but the police role is very much
secondary. All road users have a role to play in preventing deaths and injuries on our roads.
All police ask is that drivers slow down, do not drive after drinking, always assign a sober driver, wear a
seatbelt and drive with greater care and attention.
Police are appealing to anyone who may have any information regarding any of these incidents, no
matter how small or insignificant (the tip) may seem, to anonymously call Police at 919 or CRIME
STOPPERS at 328-TIPS (8477) (New Providence) or 1-242-300-8476 (Family Islands)
