The road death toll is currently 46 compared to 63 for the same period last year.
The Police, National Road Safety Council and Land Transport Authority are highlighting this fact in the hope that it will bring home to drivers, the stark reality of fatal accidents on our roads, one of which occurred in the Western Division when a bus tumbled down a slope killing two of its passengers.
Police Traffic Director SSP Mahesh Mishra said those who are caught drunk driving or who fail a breatherlyser test will be kept in custody, without bail, until the next available court sitting.
NRSC Director Joji Satakala said in December alone, four people have lost their lives on our roads and this needs to stop.
LTA Media Liaison Officer, Ratu Eroni Volavola said Christmas is a time for giving, so give the right of way on our roads, you'll be a better person for it.
