Asea further issued a strong appeal to all motorists to strictly adhere to road safety regulations to prevent accidents during the Easter holiday, which often sees increased traffic on roads.”

“I also want to appeal to road users to not get excited on the road because you are not the only person using the road in order to avoid accidents which you may not cause to yourself alone but to other road users as well, let us follow all the traffic rules and regulations and road safety signs in order to have safe and meaningful Easter celebrations together,” he added.
