He was speaking at the Christmas 2025 Road Safety Awareness Campaign, which focused on improving public awareness and practical prevention measures, including the distribution of safety items such as emergency triangles, first-aid kits and helmet replacements for selected motorcyclists.
Joachim urged road users to drive prudently, obey speed limits, avoid driving while tired, refrain from mobile phone use and ensure vehicles are roadworthy.
The annual campaign, held during festive seasons due to increased traffic, was organised in Ranau, a major route linking Sabah’s west and east coasts.
