”It is a bad and indecent practice, it can cause accidents that lead to high fatality and injuries.
“My visit is to discourage the loading of goods and persons by truck drivers on the high ways.

He also advised motorists not to drive when they were tired and exhausted, saying,”take at least 30 minutes rest after every four hours”
”Drivers should take a minimum of 30 minutes rest after every four hours of driving to prevent fatigue and drowsiness.
