In conjunction with the final day of the Home Team Festival 2015, the Traffic Police (TP) and the Singapore Road Safety Council (SRSC) held the DirectAsia.com Safer Roads Campaign 2015 today. This marked the third year that DirectAsia.com is sponsoring the campaign in support of the Safer Roads Singapore action plan – to foster a culture of safe and courteous road use in Singapore. The event was graced by Mr Amrin Amin, Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs.
DirectAsia.com Safer Roads Campaign 2015
The campaign's tagline this year is Drive to Zero Accidents, which serves to encourage all road users to adopt good road safety habits with the aim of zero traffic fatalities. To reinforce this, a road safety-themed video – called Drive to Zero will also be broadcasted from November 2015 to January 2016 at Golden Village Cinemas.
73 motorists were also commended for their exemplary road safety behaviours and practices at the event. These motorists were presented with petrol and insurance vouchers sponsored by DirectAsia.com.
Since the launch of Spot the Conscientious Motorists programme in October 2013, 600 motorists have been spotted and commended for their conscientious habits such as signalling early or graciously giving way to other motorists. With this programme, TP and SRSC hope to encourage more motorists to be conscientious and act as role models and road safety ambassadors to other road users. Everyone can play their part, and as long as we all use our RoadSense, we can make it back to our loved ones safely.
