NTSA urges drivers to be vigilant as schools reopen

The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) is urging all players and stakeholders in the transport sector to be vigilant as schools reopen for the second term this week.

Through their official X page, NTSA urges motorists to ensure that their vehicles are in great condition and fully functional in order to secure the safety of passengers.

Further, NTSA urged drivers to ensure they have all the required certificates and insurance.

In a notice, the authority calls for close supervision of children and identification of safe vehicles to transport them, emphasizing that this would play a critical role in ensuring their safety.

The agency further appealed to road users to exercise caution, citing past occurrences where cases of reckless driving and distractions by students led to serious injuries and fatalities.
