“Our sensitisation programmes on safety matters were very strong and we were able to reach the target audience through the media outlets,” he added.
He stressed that the safety on highways must be a shared responsibility of everyone to help prevent any form of accident that could lead to loss of lives and property.
Benamaisia however, advised motorists to embrace defensive driving techniques to help prevent any unexpected accident on the highways.
