Fed up of mounting accidents and fatalities, Orlem residents join hands with local police to stop those driving on the wrong side dead in their tracks

Members of Safer Roads @Orlem launch joint drive with police against rule violators
Reckless bikers have finally paid the price for getting on the wrong side of Orlem's residents. After witnessing a spate of accidents because of bikers riding on the wrong side of the road, locals joined hands with the traffic police in a special drive on Monday to catch the offenders in the act.
For several months, residents of Orlem had observed a spate of accidents around Orlem church, a stretch notorious for motorists driving on the wrong side of the road. "To avoid a longer route, motorists are fearlessly entering the main road from the wrong side. In January, tea seller lost his life after by being hit by a biker from the wrong direction. Two weeks ago, a domestic help fractured her ribs and leg in the same way," said resident Johannes Remedios, who started the Safer Roads @Orlem campaign to tackle this issue.
