COPPS 94.1 a joint venture between Windhoek City Police and Kosmos 94.1 is now 12 weeks on air. The idea is educating and sensitizing the public re fighting crime and how to prevent being the target of a criminal. Tonight's edition was more focussed on drinking and driving under the influence. Unfortunately some drivers did not pass the test and landed in the holding cells.
several vehicles were also impounded due to not be road worthy, while several drivers walked away with a few first prizes for failing to wear safety belts, using a cellphone while driving. One keep on asking when will people learn not to drive while under the influence or failing to wear a safety belt.
In a separate incident a driver allegedly ran away after he was involved in a accident in Katutura, his car a Bantam bakkie is a write off as the pavement he crashed into was a little harder than the old vehicle.
A taxi owner not only lost his vehicle after impounded by the City police as the vehicle was not roadworthy his customers also walked away without paying him a penny, after he was pulled over.
