Land Transport Authority board chairman Inosi Kuridrani has reiterated that his team would not hesitate to take reckless drivers to task for continuously endangering the lives of others on our roads.

With 72 deaths so far compared with 38 for the same period last year, Mr Kuridrani has also called for inter-agency support from key stakeholders.

He said this was vital to creating widespread awareness on responsible driving.

Such joint efforts, he added would also help change the behaviours of pedestrians and passengers while on the road.
