The road to safety starts with an education drive

At least two-thirds of participants of an online multichoice poll have run a red light, according to results released on Sunday, the first National Road Safety Day.

The results of the survey, which polled 10,682 respondents, have led to renewed calls for more safety measures.

Although more than 93 percent of people said traffic lights should be obeyed, 67 percent admitted they had broken the law by failing to stop for a red light. Meanwhile, 72 percent said the violation was the worst behavior displayed by drivers.
