Now, the focus is on the passengers.
Using it's Facebook page, the FRSC reminded passengers that the fault is not always from the driver.
Then, the commission urged passengers to never distract passengers, as this could lead to accidents.
Here are other road safety tips for pedestrians.
- Wear your seat belt at all times.
- Be a 'good co-pilot' by supporting the driver.
- Reduce interactions.
- Also pay attention to the road.
- Warn the driver of emerging danger without shouting or trying to grab the steering wheel or hand brake.
- Do not turn on interior lights at night.
- Do not be a ‘back-seat driver’ - This means you can offer useful information, without making unnecessary rude comments concerning the driver.
