Wilson wrote that many road deaths are not inevitable, but often result from silence, hesitation, or failure to act.

He explained that passengers have a responsibility to speak up when they see danger, saying, “Inside every car, beyond airbags, brakes, and seatbelts, there exists a basic, human safety mechanism that is too often ignored: Your voice!”

He emphasised that saying “Slow down” firmly and calmly can save lives.

Wilson shared his own experiences, noting that friends and drivers have mocked him for speaking up, yet he continued to prioritise safety over pride.

He also highlighted the dangers of poor road infrastructure, careless drivers, and fatigue, adding that speed often multiplies risk. He stressed that slowing down is not weakness but wisdom, especially in a culture that celebrates speed and risk-taking.

“True courage is speaking up when everyone else stays quiet. True friendship is not cheering recklessness, but interrupting it,” he wrote.
“Every passenger has a duty—not just to themselves, but to everyone in that vehicle. If you see danger approaching, your voice matters. Two simple words: a basic human act. A lifesaving habit.”
