She outlined that when one leaves his home, the intention is to get to the destination safely and come back home. Sinclair added that road users must make sure that they cut out any type of distractions or unnecessary actions which could lead to a crash or a fatality and think about their families and who they want to go home to.
"It is also very important that we learn the road code and abide by it," she said.
