    "content": "As we train young people and come up with good curriculum for training, those who construct roads must give proper signs on the danger zones and where bumps are. I have hit my car badly very many times on a bump that is not visible simply because it is not marked. There are also dangerous corners which do not have signs. The road contractors must obey or at least educate people on where the road is dangerous and where rivers, bumps and sharp corners are so that people start avoiding them a little bit earlier. They should also give people information on where danger zones are. I see many small children holding each other’s hand as they cross the road and they cross without looking right or left. That is also an indication that the children are not aware of when to cross the road. They think that they can escape oncoming vehicles by running across the road only for them to meet the vehicles head on and get crashed. That is why education is power and key to empowerment. Training is necessary. I support the Motion because of the consequences that are severe, traumatising, very expensive and easy to address. Once the training process is done, we will address death rates caused by road accidents. They will be few because we will not have too many road accidents as we move on with our lives."
