Uganda Professional Drivers Network

At Uganda Professional Drivers Network , we continue to receive valuable feedback from both drivers and employers on the growing concern of road crashes in Uganda. One message clearly stands out from the feedback shared by Dan Daniels Mds of Truckers Voice Uganda: Improving road safety requires partnership not blame.

Our Drivers are calling for better working conditions, fair schedules, proper vehicle maintenance and support for their welfare. Employers on the other hand continue to emphasize the need for disciplined and professionally well-trained drivers.

The reality is that both our drivers and their employers have a shared responsibility in building a safer and stronger road transport sector.

UPDN remains committed to bridging this
Happy end of the week to all our drivers, transporters, driver employers, road transport stakeholders and you our road users

As we head into the weekend, we remind you that weekends (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) remain among the most crash-prone days on our roads according to Uganda Police Force data.

We therefore call upon all road users to plan our journeys to avoid rushing (SPEEDING & CARELESS OVERTAKING) among other reckless and careless Driver behaviors, drive responsibly, respect traffic signs, road markings among other traffic rules and regulations prioritising personal safety and life above everything else.
