The cricket legend Wasim Akram builds the bridge between cricket and road safety and he states:
“Cricket is a team sport. To be successful, one must interact with others around and need to assess their moves and intent. You need to closely watch out and care for each other! We are in it together, as a team! Exactly the same applies on the roads! Watch out for others around you, anticipate their moves and care for them. Caring means to be generous, polite and well mannered. We do not wish to be rude, reckless or conceited. This is what I do when on the road and I invite all my followers to exhibit the same manners. You have to lead by an example, I drive safe & care for others around me, do you?”
