The road fatality rate per 100,000 human population registered an improvement of 1.5% in 2008 compared to 2007. Nonetheless, Police would like to highlight three main areas of concern:
| a) |
Motorcyclists and pillion riders remain the most vulnerable group of road users; |
| b) |
Elderly pedestrians account for almost half of pedestrian deaths; and |
| c) |
Drink driving remains a concern even though drink-driving related accidents registered a decrease in 2008. |
