The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has urged all Public Service Vehicles(PSV) to ensure that their vehicles adhere to road safety standards as children head back to school. In a public notice on Tuesday, August 19, the authority issued a checklist that drivers and conductors of PSV vehicles should adhere to, to ensure that all vehicles carrying children are safe, well-maintained, and compliant with road safety laws.
First on the list is ensuring that the vehicle is roadworthy and has a valid inspection certificate, road service licence (RSL) and insurance.
The authority also advised drivers and conductors to ensure that all vehicle parts, including the brakes, tyres, lights and wing mirrors, are in working order.
