I think the other problem I have observed is that most of our brothers driving PSV vehicles have not gone through intensive driving training. Traffic officers please ask the Drivers the driving school they have gone to. The answer is none. Its very rare for some one who has been to school to make those mistakes. Encourage the would be drivers to go to school.

Its a pity that there is no mention of the name of one White Zambian, a Mr Mark Burton the MD of lendor and Burton Ltd. That man sacrificed his time, money and vehicle transporting injured victims from the accident scene to the nearest hospital which is about 90km away from the bridge.

The traffic police and RTSA are doing their best to educate road users on safety. The passengers do nothing to advise overspeeding and careless drivers. I’ve tried to raise my voice trying to advise a careless driver but only to be told imwe ba some of us we can refund your money so that you get off our bus. Where are the other passengers? Zii until death is in their faces.
