Ozonnandi said that commercial vehicle owners had already started complying with the order for installation of the speed limit devices, adding that ‘’private vehicle owners should follow suit.
He said: “We implore vehicle owners, especially private vehicle owners to install the speed limit devices on their vehicles in order to reduce road crashes in 2019.
“The enforcement will begin very soon at an undisclosed time and any erring motorists will face the consequences.”
