ROAD SAFETY TIPS

 Road accident refers to any accident involving at least a road vehicle occurring on the road in the view of the public resulting in the death of persons. The National Road Safety Commission (NRSC) in their recent statistics assert that private cars dominate road accidents. About 7515 was the estimated number of private vehicles involved in an accident as at January to December in the year 2017? Commercial vehicles in review of the statistics were known to have the lower number of road accidents in the same year. This academic write discourse is to make the public aware of road safety tips.

        The National Road Safety Commission (NRSC) conducted successive campaigns to curb gory road accidents. In battling road accidents, the media also played an important role in educating Ghanaian citizens on the causes and effects of road accidents.
