Creecy is poised to introduce a ban on drinking alcoholic beverages while driving through the amendment of the existing road regulations with a view to reducing road accidents.Creecy announced plans to tighten road regulations during a briefing yesterday where she presented preliminary road safety statistics for the 2025/2026 festive season and last year as a whole.
She praised law enforcement agencies, municipalities, and civil servants for their role in achieving a 5% drop in road fatalities and crashes during the 2025/2026 festive season. However, she emphasised that reckless driver behaviour remains the leading cause of road trauma, adding that speeding and drunk-driving were major contributors to accidents.
Preliminary road safety statistics showed that 1427 fatalities were recorded from 1172 crashes during the festive season.
Creecy said according to the data, the festive season recorded the lowest number of crashes in five years, with fatalities matching those of the 2023/2024 season.
