AWKA – The Chairman of Onitsha zone Tipper Drivers Association in Anambra State, Comrade Chuk­wuebuka Unekwe, has said that tipper drivers and owners are helping the Anambra State Road Traffic Management Agency (ARTMA) to track down a reck­less tipper driver who climbed the median on Building Materi­als-Nkpor dual carriageway near Onitsha.

Unekwe, who spoke to this journalist exclusively on the said development, noted that such recklessness and rascality would not be tolerated amongst their members because such action, according to him, was traffic violation and could be catastrophic and fatal.

He said they were currently trailing and tracking the offend­ing driver in order to identify him and hand him over to ARTMA for appropriate disciplinary actions because his action, according to him, was not only detrimental to other road users but also de­structive to public infrastructure, stressing that tipper drivers in the state support the good works of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo and would not rubbish his efforts with any form of reckless driving.

Meanwhile, Managing Di­rector and Chief Executive Of­ficer of the Anambra State Road Traffic Management Agency (ARTMA), Engr. Okonkwo Emeka Konti, said in a state­ment that it is unfortunate that some tipper truck drivers have become accused of being the worst traffic offenders on Anambra roads.
