The Kigezi Region Police Spokesperson Elly Maate while addressing the media at Kabale Central Police Station in Kabale Municipality said accidents during the special days are often as a result of driving vehicles in bad mechanical conditions, lack of driving skills, drink driving, use of drugs and over speeding.

Maate said that road users must respect the traffic regulations and stand by the guidelines given by the traffickers on the roads and highways.

He added that traffic Police have been deployed in different places to arrest the drivers and cyclists who will be found in violation of stipulated traffic regulations.

He emphasized the issue of most accidents are caused by recklessness, drink-driving and talking on phones while driving.
