THE drivers of HC 1416 and PGG 2609 were left surveying the damage done to their respective vehicles last Saturday morning at Pouderoyen, on the West Bank of Demerara, where speeding left PGG 2609 literally in a ditch.

This accident represents the latest incident of dangerous driving on Guyana’s roadways, and underscores the need for drivers to exercise greater caution to avoid seriously jeopardising life, limb and valuable property as they negotiate the roadways.

Police traffic enforcement activities last year resulted in more than 107,650 cases being made against errant motorists, more than 20,443 of which were for speeding.
