To reduce accidents and promote safer roads and responsible driving, the Diverse Autocare Centre has officially flagged off its Road Courtesy and Vehicle Maintenance Awareness Campaign in Benin Edo State.

The public enlightenment initiative was launched by the Pioneer General Manager of the centre, Emmanuel Oboh, who called on motorists to embrace regular vehicle maintenance and demonstrate greater courtesy on and patience on Nigerian roads.

Oboh on Tuesday said many road crashes and costly vehicle breakdowns can be prevented through routine inspections, early diagnosis of faults, and responsible driving habits.

“Every warning light on your dashboard is your vehicle asking for attention. Ignoring these signs today may result in expensive repairs tomorrow or even endanger lives. Road safety begins with a roadworthy vehicle and a courteous driver.”
