The Society of Road Safety Ambassadors Botswana (SORSA) is conducting training sessions with Botswana Police Officers’ Drivers, focusing on Vision Zero and the Safe System Approach. This initiative aims to enhance road safety in Botswana by equipping drivers with the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent accidents.

Vision Zero, a global road safety strategy, seeks to eliminate fatalities and severe injuries on roads. The Safe System Approach emphasizes a holistic approach to road safety, considering factors like road design, vehicle safety, and user behavior.

Through this training, SORSA and the Botswana Police Service aim to:

– Reduce road accidents and fatalities

– Promote defensive driving practices

– Foster a culture of road safety among drivers

– Enhance collaboration between law enforcement and road safety stakeholders

By adopting the Vision Zero philosophy and Safe System Approach, Botswana is taking significant steps towards creating safer roads and protecting its citizens.
