The City Police's Head of Operations is calling on members of the public to ensure that their cars are road-worthy before embarking on a long-distance journey for the festive season.

Deputy Chief Eliaser Iyambo made the call during a road safety day held at the City Police Headquarters in Windhoek.

As part of the National Festive Season Road Safety Campaign under the theme 'Do the Right Thing and Save Lives', the City Police held a road worthy vehicle inspection day where drivers got their cars tested for road worthiness for free.
