Drive safely, stay ALIVE
If there’s anything that has continued to haunt this country, it’s the increased number of road accidents that continue to claim the lives of Ugandans. Almost a week can’t pass by without fatal accidents reported in all sorts of media. This seems to be a month in-month out routine. I have read a range of literature the past few weeks and there’s loads of information and research on motor accidents, with case studies in both developed and developing countries. But one thing steers clear, road accidents are more prevalent in developing countries. Whereas developed countries seem to have learnt and put in place measures to curb and reduce these incidences, developing countries like Uganda have a very long path to trail before the message finally sinks in. I only wonder how many lives will have perished by then, lives that could have been saved.
