The number of fatalities on South African roads is unacceptable. 

Today may well be a day of Remembrance and prayer for victims and their families, but its not addressing the real issue.

The roads I drive are some of the most dangerous in SA, the N2 between East London and Mthatha and the N3, both on my list this week. It’s a constant source of concern. Poor behaviour and tolerance toward poor driving and the losses we experience have to be addressed. Urgently. 

I have yet to have a construction site on public roads where there have been no incidents caused by pathetic driving and poor attitude by the public. Visibility of law enforcement is minimal. Trapping for speeding done at best. SAPS perhaps doing more for visibility than traffic police, and they check licenses. So please can we have more law enforcement? With an increased focus on behaviour change?
