The Police will launch a city-wide campaign tomorrow, to remind drivers of public service vehicles and goods vehicles the importance of safe driving, through publicity and enforcement against traffic offences.

 

Officers will crack down on drivers for speeding, following other vehicles too closely, failing to comply with traffic signals, using a handheld phone while driving, and seatbelt-related offences. They will distribute leaflets to goods vehicles drivers, to remind them of the importance of safe loading and safe speeds.

 

People are encouraged to report undesirable driving behaviour to the Police or the Transport Complaints Unit of the Transport Advisory Committee, on 2889 9999. They can also call direct to the 24-hour Police hotline – 2754 7668 – to report public light bus drivers' misbehaviour.

 

There were 4,549 accidents involving public service vehicles or goods vehicles in the first half of 2012, up 3% year on year. The main factors were driving inattentively, driving too close to the vehicle in front, careless lane changing, improper or illegal turns, and failing to safeguard passenger safety.

 

The campaign ends on August 21.
