We’ve been told that the government is not messing around when it comes to enforcing road traffic laws, including those relating to drinking and driving. Now new stats reveal the local authorities really do seem intent on following through with their warnings to motorists. Since September last year, more than 20 000 drunk drivers have been arrested. Not funny in the slightest.
Minister of Transport, Sibusiso Ndebele, is assuring would-be party animals that preparation for the December holidays starts early in his department. His law enforcement operations around the festive season are already in place to ensure roads are eliminated of folk who may chance driving drunk. So please don’t risk it.
With the next ten years named the Decade of Action for Road Safety, traffic law enforcement will be intensified without compromise to stop carnage on South African roads, he’s said.
