Does someone have to get injured or even killed before the relevant authorities do anything about motorists who feel the need to “jump” the newly positioned traffic lights on Ballito drive, both directions?
I commute to Shongweni every morning, leaving around 5am, returning from work just after 6pm, and it absolutely astounds me, even at that time in the morning, the number of drivers who clearly have no idea of the law when approaching a defective or red traffic light, or alternatively just don’t give a damn.
Can we not try and make Ballito a safer place by just thinking when we get behind the wheel of a vehicle, it only takes a few extra seconds of one’s time, but could prevent a lifetime of heartache to the victims of such recklessness.
