All drivers, Subject:Goanet GOACAN Road Safety Drinking & Driving Alert Warning-If you want to drive don't drink or if you want drink don't drive.
Please don't drink and drive and put your life at risks use safety measures while driving. Everybody's love ones are waiting for us at home - drive carefully and reach home safely. Have a fine journey with a pleasant journey. Really speaking, I have seen in Goa lots of new drivers on our Goan roads, don't even know how to drive, where to drive and when to drive. Most of the people who drives just drive because they want to drive and get the licence. The instructors in the driving schools should teach them every way the correct rules how to drive on the roads. Many drives as they like without cheking their speed, lane and so on. Also I have seen drivers suddenly changiong the lanes or enter the main roads without giving any signal lights nor showing hands which way they want to proceed. Drinking and driving major cause of accidents and is absolutely nonsence. The license officer should at least warn or give some advise or some notes of wrong ways of driving before giving the test for drivers. All the best, take care, be safe while driving and save life, Mario Vicente Santos Pereira. ***************************************************************** Do GOACAN a favour, circulate this email to your family members, relatives, neighbours and friends.
