Traffic statistics show an increase in fatal accidents on Cypriot roads this year. A total of 43 people have lost their lives, with a significant portion of these cases linked to mobile phone use while driving. Tragically, 19 of these incidents have been attributed to drivers' distraction. The government is concerned and aims to implement measures to reduce traffic deaths by 50% by 2030. Road safety is a top priority and requires immediate action.
