The continuous enforcement underscores the department’s commitment to improving road safety standards. Officials appealed to all road users to maintain full concentration while driving and to eliminate all forms of distraction.
The data collected by the police highlights a persistent pattern: distracted driving remains one of the leading causes of traffic incidents. The fines serve as a direct deterrent, aiming to compel drivers to adhere strictly to safe operating procedures.
