ROAD SAFETY TIP | MONDAY
A safe journey begins before you start the engine.
Before setting off, check your tyres, brakes, lights and indicators. Ensure your vehicle is roadworthy, adjust your mirrors, fasten your seat belt and make sure every passenger is properly secured. Never begin a journey when tired or distracted.
Taking a few minutes to prepare can prevent road crashes and save lives. Let safety be your first priority every time you travel.

This is alarming! Sugarcane trucks operating at night without functional tail lights and reflectors are a serious road safety hazard. These trucks can be almost invisible to drivers approaching from behind, leaving little time to react. Most of them don’t have side mirrors. Authorities must enforce strict vehicle visibility standards, and truck operators must ensure their vehicles are roadworthy before every journey. No load is worth a life.

We are turning road safety lessons into practical experiences at Hoima Public School, guiding children through safe crossing at a zebra crossing and helping them develop safe road use behavior that extend beyond the learning environment.
Through these practical learning experiences, children are equipped to become road safety ambassadors, carrying their knowledge beyond the school environment to influence safer road use among their peers and communities.
To other road users: When a child sees a driver stop and allow a pedestrian to cross, they witness road safety in action. When a driver or rider disregards a crossing, it sends a different message.
Let’s make sure our actions teach the right lessons.

Did you know we lose 15 people to road crashes everyday?
You use the road everyday which makes you a potential road crash victim.
How well do you know road safety to keep yourself safe on the road?
Like, respost, comment for road safety awareness.

Some Ugandans doubt our health sector, but Dr. Diana Ssewanyana of Aga Khan Hospital shares a different reality: foreigners are travelling to Uganda for medical care, and our local professionals are in massive demand globally. #healthservicesexport

Is it time Ugandans had a candid conversation about exporting our health professionals? 🩺@RubabindaJr, president of @TheUMAofficial, thinks so. The issue was highlighted during @EPRC_official's public dialogue on unlocking Uganda’s health services export held on sept 29th.

This driver should be apprehended and penalized for reckless driving @PoliceUg @M_Kananura
Per the first responder's statement, the recklessness shown in this video is what led to the death of Dr. Asiimwe in Tanzania.
And while the team was returning from Asiimwe's burial, this happened. Please, @PoliceUg, get that HAICE driver and make an example of him.

Overspeeding by more than 70 km/h in a built-up area is extremely dangerous. Speed limits exist to protect pedestrians, cyclists, passengers and other road users. Where reckless speed puts lives at risk, there must be firm enforcement and accountability. Road safety cannot be treated as optional.
@GovUganda our road system is not forgiving enough to accommodate mistake by road users.
@GovUganda @MoWT_Uganda @assempebwa @PoliceUg @M_Kananura @RcMorningTide
This driver should be arrested and charged for negligent driving.
How do you overspeed by more than 70 km/h in a built-up area?
That is not a small mistake or a momentary lapse in attention.
The question is simple: what exactly was the driver thinking would happen at that speed?
A built-up area is precisely where speed limits exist.

3,000 Ugandans drown every year. Eight every day.
We already know what can prevent many of these deaths: survival swimming, trained community rescuers and real lifejackets.
But prevention needs all of us.
Drowning prevention. You have a role.
