THE spate of road accidents that happen again in Zambia is a source of worry and the quicker we found the solution the better.
Just last week many people died in separate roads accidents Between Lusaka and Kapiri Mposhi I thought that the best preventive measures had been implemented by the relevant authorities.
One of them was to strictly implement the use of breathalysers to detect those who drive under the influence of alcohol and also to sensitise transport operators on the need to use roadworthy vehicles to avoid further loss of life.
I believe that on many occasions accidents can be avoided because causes of these road accidents have proved to be excessive beer drinking by drivers!
Even speeding without following speed limits for a particular road portion!
There is a need for a more forceful approach to road accidents! These accidents are taking many away lives.
Let the Government and other stakeholders find the solution to accidents! We cannot continue loosing human resources while we are watching!
