RSIPF reminds drivers and skippers to take extra care during bad weather in Western Province

Police in Western Province remind vehicle drivers and out boat motor (OBM) skippers when driving along the road and travelling between our islands to take extra care during the current bad weather affecting the Province.

Provincial Police Commander (PPC) Western Province, Chief Superintendent Lenialu says,

“Police like to remind public that travelling at high speed must be discouraged when driving along the road and OBM drivers must assess the weather before embarking on any trip.”

PPC Lenialu adds: “OBM skippers must ensure they have the required safety equipment before travelling to other islands. Stay onshore during bad weather and notify members of your family where you are going and what time you are expected to arrive at your destination. Listen to the weather report on SIBC.”

“It is good and important that drivers and skippers must always put safety first before travelling on our roads and between our islands,” says PPC Lenialu.
