Over the coming weeks, traffic volumes are expected to increase as the school calendar resumes and most people return home from the holidays. 

The Motor Vehicle Accidents Fund is thus cautioning road users to adhere to road regulations.

MVA Fund CEO Rosalia Martin-Hausiku says motorist behavior has improved since the previous holiday season.

Injuries and fatalities have declined compared to previous years.

Influencing the improved statistics are factors such as intensified road campaigns and better coordination among stakeholders.

Media houses had an opportunity to learn more about the Motor Vehicle Accidents Fund at a media workshop held in the capital on Friday.

The aim of the workshop was to help journalists gain a deeper understanding of the fund's operations.

The MVA Fund helps those involved in car accidents to get medical and financial assistance for the damage caused.

The Fund offers medical benefits of up to N$1.5 million, depending on the severity of the accident and injuries, and also caters for hospital and nursing bills.
