MAKE OUR ROADS SAFER
Our National Taxi Association (NTA) members have observed that recently, the number of disputes and accidents arising from traffic incidents have been on the rise. As drivers, we are concerned and want our roads to become safer. We feel that every one of us can play our part. Starting with our fellow taxi drivers, the NTA is committed to doing more to strengthen road safety.
The need to earn a decent income for our families has led us to become one of the most frequent road users, spending up to 14 hours per day on the road. Like everyone else, we also want to arrive home safely, every day. Whilst many users act responsibly, some are less patient. This may eventually lead to more traffic disputes and accidents.
We urge fellow motorists to join us in making our roads safer. Enforcement measures are effective but we feel that a holistic approach will be more effective. We call upon the Singapore Traffic Police to step up its outreach programme and involve all of us to work out suitable educational and preventive measures to keep our roads safe for everyone.
