“We crave your indulgence to stop overloading and over- speeding to avoid possible crashes.
“Some people use this opportunity to over-speed in the name of business while you put your life and lives of others at risk.
“I am pleading stop over-speeding because it kills.
“You are to look out for your tyres, whether they are in good or bad shape to avoid any eventualities of crash.
“We are in rainy season where bad tyres lead to crashes easily” Bazama said.
