Officers brief students on awareness of road safety 

Sekolah Menengah Menglait held a lecture that was conducted by the Road Safety Council yesterday morning on their school premises. Around 280 of its students from Form 4 and 5 were briefed by two government departments, namely the Royal Brunei Police Force and Land Transport Department.

The two departments were represented by Sgt Hj Jair and Inspector Salleh from RBPF while Baha Hj Jamahat and Shahminan Hj Tengah represented the Land Transport Department.

The talk on road safety education at Sekolah Menengah Menglait was the first of its kind but there are hopes of it becoming an annual project.

The Road Safety Council set forth some of its objectives. The talks were held primarily to increase understanding and promote awareness of road safety issues.

Among the many topics discussed by the Road Safety Council were common causes of road accidents - especially the use of short messaging system (SMS) while driving; road safety laws and regulations; procedures relating to obtaining a driver's license and other essential information every road user should be made aware of.
