Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 27187, member: 2262"] The Motor Vehicle Accident Fund of Namibia has asked drivers to be super careful on roads as heavy rains pour across many regions. MVA CEO Rosalia Martins-Hausiku shared yesterday that slick roads, flooded spots, and water-filled rivers create major dangers for anyone behind the wheel. Drivers who attempt to cross-moving water face serious risks, including losing control, damaging engines, or getting carried away by strong water flows. Martins-Hausiku strongly encouraged all motorists to avoid driving through rivers completely, even when the water seems shallow or calm. She said drivers should turn around and find different routes instead of risking dangerous crossings. The MVA also recommended that everyone slow down when roads are wet, keep plenty of space between cars, turn headlights on during poor visibility, and pay close attention at all times. According to the MVA chief, safety saves lives. She emphasized that all drivers must put safety first and avoid taking unnecessary chances, especially during bad weather. The organization wants drivers to remember they can call the emergency number 9682 if crashes happen. This helps emergency teams reach accident scenes faster when people need help. The heavy rainfall continues affecting travel conditions throughout Namibia. Local authorities monitor the situation as road conditions change rapidly with ongoing storms. MVA officials hope their warning will reduce accidents during these challenging driving conditions. They stress that making smart choices helps everyone arrive safely at their destinations despite the weather problems. [/QUOTE]
