ARUBA—Kiwanis Club of Aruba has introduced a flyer with traffic safety messages recently. The club's president Ryan Kock announced last week that this flyer will be distributed to tax payers together with their new license plates at the tax offices.

Kock explained that during the first ten months this year, there were five traffic casualties recorded. Although each death is one too many, this was considered a very low statistic, considering that over the past ten years the annual average has been of 16 traffic casualties per year. Unfortunately, during November unsafe traffic claimed five victims, suddenly increasing the casualties to ten. Kiwanis Club of Aruba in an attempt to have the community refocus on the importance of maintaining good habits when participating in traffic, has joined the Ministry of Justice and Education in an awareness campaign and taken their efforts a little further by producing and distributing their awareness messages on a flyer.

Don't drink and drive, designate a driver, don't use your mobile phone while driving, respect the speed limit and use your seatbelt, are their four main messages.
