Dear Editor,
ON the 16th March, 2017, around 9:25am, I was heading to Georgetown via the Rupert Craig Highway and to my surprise, I saw a truck bearing the logo of a prominent company overtaking cars, travelling at approximately 110 K/PH. It was shocking and surprising that a vehicle belonging to a super corporate partner of our country would risk endangering the lives of other road users in such an unnecessary manner.
It is well known that the company employs hundreds and by extension thousands of people throughout Guyana and the Caribbean, so I hold them higher with regard to work safety and road responsibility. The vehicle bearing a flammable code which was probably loaded with fuel could have caused a major catastrophe if the driver were not cautious, since the truck was going above the speed limit. My point is that companies which have an international reputation to uphold should invest in a satellite tracking system, whereby they can monitor the speed, location, engine idle time and history of their vehicles at the click of a button. At this point, we would like to offer any reputable company in Guyana a free device with full installation for one complete month, so that they can test the viability of our system for their business.
The undersigned is going public with this matter to bring attention to traffic safety , but also to alert the energy companies who transport gasoline, diesel and other fuels to put systems in place to ensure that these flammable trucks exercise extreme caution and proper road ethics. As I suggested, big companies nationwide should consider the possibility of this GPS tracking system which would ensure accountability from their drivers, improved productivity, greater control on the operations of each vehicle and lastly, ensure that their vehicles use the roadways in accordance with the laws of our country. Whilst we appreciate these big companies for the contributions they give to our country, they must also ensure mechanisms are in place for safety and control.
