KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia,June 21 (Bernama-PRNewswire) — It is no secret that the Road Safety Plan 2014-2020 has set an ambitious target: a reduction of 50% in the number of deaths and serious injuries resulting from road accidents by 2020. We can see the effects already, through reduced road fatalities in 2018 (5,870 cases compared to 6,265 in 2017), yet total road accidents rose from 533,875 in 2017 to 548,598 last year.
The commercial vehicle industry is most affected by road accidents due to frequency of movement, Kit Loong Commercial Tyres feels the industry should be doing more to educate, enforce regulations and set standards when it comes to safer vehicle operation and reducing road accidents.
