Stricter measures implemented to curb road @ccidents

Stricter measures implemented to curb road @ccidents

The Zimbabwean government has declared that it will no longer tolerate the status quo regarding road traffic accid3nts, as it tightens measures on investigations following a recent surge in accid3nts.

This announcement came after an investigation revealed that the driver involved in a trag!c bus accid3nt in Beatrice, which resulted in the loss of 15 lives, did not possess a valid driving license.

During a post-Cabinet briefing in Harare, Home Affairs Minister Kazembe Kazembe outlined the government’s plans to address road safety concerns. Key actions include the deployment of cameras on roads to combat corruption and the introduction of breathalyzers to detect and deter drunk driving.

“We should not allow cars that are not fit for road to pass through roadblocks neither should drivers who are not fit for purpose to pass through a roadblock,” he said.

“If a vehicle that has passed through a roadblock you are manning is involved in an acc!dent and investigations reveal that the vehicle was not supposed to pass through that roadblock then you will be accountable.

“We are also working to ensure that we equip our police officers to be able to carry out their mandate to account for those driving under the influence of alcoh0l, dr+g and substances.”

Transport minister Felix Mhona said they investigated the recent Beatrice accident and found out that the driver did not have relevant documents to drive a public service vehicle according to the Road Traffic Act.

“The operators licence is going to be cancelled and the driver is going to be charged,” he said.

Mhona pleaded with motorists to exercise caution during the Workers’ Day holiday.

“Motorists are urged to make their holiday journeys safer and smarter by preparing well and making the right choices. This is a special time for our nation, and no holiday should be marred by a road cr@sh that could be easily avoided,” he said.

“Government would also like to appeal to operators of public service vehicles and private motorists not to use defective and unroadworthy vehicles.

“Operators are also strongly urged to desist from the habit of over-working their drivers which results in driver fatigue. “Drivers should stick to regulated speed limits, as speeding is one of the major causes of fat@l road cr@shes. Driving under the influence of alcohol is a punishable offence and is totally unacceptable.”
