Officers:
Police officers appeal to drivers to exercise caution on the road and take their foot off the gas! Let’s not rush. Speed is among the most common causes of fatal road accidents in which people lose their lives. The rule is quite simple and obvious: the faster we drive, the greater the likelihood that we will suffer more serious injuries in a collision.
