These bu things have become another nuisance on Kampala Roads. They occupy a car space and move on a very slow pace, prompting road users to overtake even when not necessary.
As a professional defensive driver, this hits home. Seven lives lost because of a preventable choice. Overtaking without 300m+ of clear road and ignoring passenger warnings is not just reckless, it’s a breach of the trust those passengers placed in the driver.
.@uganda_drivers expresses deep concern over the fatal crash in Nwoya that claimed seven lives and left several others injured. This tragic incident is yet another reminder that reckless driving, especially dangerous overtaking and ignoring passenger warnings, continues to cost lives on our roads.
As advocates for road safety, we urge all drivers to prioritize discipline, patience and respect for life while on the road. Passenger concerns must always be taken seriously and transport operators should ensure strict supervision of their crews.
Road safety is a shared responsibility,every decision behind the wheel matters. #Roadsafety @omongondugu1
■ Speeding doesn’t just break limits. It multiplies damage.
■ Overtaking doesn’t just save time. It gambles lives.
Most road deaths in UG involve one or both. @uganda_drivers@M_Kananura
How I wish Mr Paul's voice could reach a thousand drivers, the Uganda could be free from road accidents and incidents.
God Sent Man, thank you for touching driver's soul through road safety awareness.
Human error remains the leading cause of road crashes in Uganda and globally, with speeding standing out as the most critical contributing factor.
During today’s session, The Lead Facilitator Mr. Kwamusi Paul emphasized that while other behaviors like distraction, DUI, fatigue and failure to use seatbelts or helmets contribute to crashes, speeding remains the central risk that magnifies all others.
There is a direct relationship between speed and control. The higher the speed, the less control a driver has over the vehicle. Once control is lost, a crash becomes highly likely.
Whether it is dangerous overtaking or delayed reaction time, speeding is often the root cause.
Road safety begins with one decision to slow down and stay in control.
