Reminding drivers to take a break during long-distance driving

Driving at night without taking a proper rest during the daytime has led to many road accidents that have occurred at night.

To draw the attention of drivers towards this in an innovative way, Superintendent of Police in charge of Hatton Police Division, Mr. Pradeep Weerasekara, Assistant Superintendent of Police I, Mr. Nissanka Godamunna, and Officer in Charge of Watawala Police Station Sub-Inspector of Police, Mr. Jayarathne organized a program in front of Watawala Police Station on the night of 15.08.2025.

Through the said initiative, those who were driving at night on the Hatton-Colombo Main Road on that day were offered tea, and drivers as well as young children who had time were also given the opportunity to watch cartoon movies at the same place.

The main objective of this programme is to remind drivers that they should take a break at least once while driving at night.
