TRNC Traffic Victims Warn New Students: Adhere to Traffic Rules and Stay Safe
With the start of the new academic year, the TRNC Traffic Victims have issued a crucial warning on their social media account for students arriving on the island.
12,000 New Students Expected in the TRNC
Approximately 12,000 new students are expected to arrive in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) for the 2024-2025 academic year. The Traffic Victims organization has emphasized the need for comprehensive information campaigns at border gates, schools, and student registration offices to prevent traffic accidents and ensure adherence to traffic rules.
“Incoming Students Need to Be Informed”
The organization stressed the importance of educating new students about traffic rules and penalties. The statement highlighted that awareness of the consequences of violating traffic rules is crucial to fostering responsible driving behavior. “They should know what will happen if they make mistakes or act irresponsibly, so they are deterred from such behavior,” the statement urged, emphasizing the need for conscious adherence to traffic regulations.
“Irresponsible Individuals Must Be Warned!”
The organization also highlighted the importance of warning irresponsible drivers to ensure safety on the roads. Citing Nasreddin Hodja’s proverb, “We must take precautions before the test is broken,” the statement underscored the necessity of proactive measures to prevent traffic accidents.
A Call to Action for Authorities
The Traffic Victims organization also called on authorities to implement necessary informational activities at border gates, schools, and registration offices. Such initiatives are deemed vital to ensuring the safety of new students arriving on the island and preventing potential traffic incidents.
