Great clarity, Compol

I salute the Commission­er of Police for coming out in public to inform and reassure the Fijian public that there is no special speed limit for any Fijian. These include drivers of all Government vehicles and those who drive our country's President, Prime Minister, Cabinet Ministers and any senior Government official on duty.

As we all know special preference is only given to vehicles in an emergency like the ambulance, the National Fire Authority and Police.

I would like to state that Government vehicle drivers are always abusing the road code rules.

These Government vehicle drivers will overtake in areas forbidden on the roads they speed like it is no one's business except them; they park on the roadside with no regard for other road users which is disrespect­ful and rude.

I would suggest the Commission­er of Police provide a toll-free number where the public can report on these dangerous road users at any time where the Police patrol is not in sight.

It is now great and very encouragin­g to see the many Police motorbikes and patrol vehicles on our roads daily.

A big vinaka vakalevu to our Government and the People's Republic of China for the donation of these vehicles' to the Fiji Police Force because safety and security is the core role of our Police.
