“We have also seized 177 commercial vehicles, in addition to being aware of the increase in accidents involving heavy vehicles in recent times,” he explained.

Among the offences are lorries carrying dangerous loads, no tyre threads, non-functioning signal lights and non-functioning brakes.

“Small lorries, trailers and container lorries are the highest contributors to accidents involving commercial vehicles. We will not compromise and will act decisively to ensure the safety of all road users,” he added.
