he Nsawam District Police Commander, Superintendent Marian Osei Adu has cautioned drivers to avoid speeding and unnecessary overtaking to prevent the carnage on the road.
She said the loss of lives through road accidents were becoming alarming and therefore there was the need for drivers to exercise restraint, while on the wheel and ensure that they observed the road signs.
