Police have expressed concern over an increase in road accidents countrywide caused by speeding and unlicensed drivers. Police yesterday said 20 139 accidents were recorded this year as of June 5.
Officer Commanding Police National Traffic Unit Felistas Chikowero-Mjanga, yesterday warned speeding motorists that the long arm of the law would descend on them heavily.
She said this while receiving two speed trap machines donated by the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe (TSCZ) in Harare.
She urged motorists to respect police officers deployed on the roads.
Snr Asst Comm Chikowero-Mjanga said the speed trap machines would go a long way in monitoring speed and enforcing the law on the roads.
Snr Asst Comm Chikovero-Mjanga said they had been facing various challenges to monitor speed on the roads due to reduced numbers of speed monitoring devices, among other challenges.
He said those found violating traffic rules would be prosecuted.
