To create awareness of the role of the NRSC in road safety in relation to the roles of different contributing stakeholders
To educate road users on pertinent road safety issues
To present a common platform for stakeholders to showcase their role and involvement in the country's road safety management structure

The Road Show took place in Windhoek, Rundu, Oshakati/Ongwediva and Ondangwa, from 15 July to 18 August 2013.

Road Safety Tips

ALCOHOL IMPAIRS YOUR DRIVING

The driver in an alcohol related crash is not the only one who suffers.

Often innocent pedestrians, cyclists, passengers or other road users are killed or seriously injured in a crash. At half the legal limit you are twice as likely to have a crash. If driving at the legal limit, you are Six Times more likely to be in a crash.

Regardless of the amount you drink, even if it’s just One Pint or a Glass of Wine, which is equivalent to the current legal limit, just one alcoholic drink will impair your driving.

If you have just one drink and are still within the legal limit, you are still not safe to drive.
