In extreme circumstances, passengers are advised to report dangerous driving behaviors at police or military checkpoints or even exit the vehicle if they feel unsafe. The FRSC also introduced a mobile application to allow passengers to report reckless driving, highlighting the importance of passenger involvement in road safety.
