N17-highway motorists drive recklessly

SECUNDA –  Many say the N17-highway has become a road of death.

It has claimed the lives of many, and in most cases it was due to negligent and aggressive driving.

A reporter of the Ridge Times took a photo of a truck making a U-turn on the N17-higway between Bethal and Trichardt before the tollgate while traffic was approaching this morning.

Motorists ignore the rules of the road and pass cars on solid lines and exceed the speed limit.

• What are your opinions about beginning a Traffic Name and Shame project to bring these motorists to everyone’s attention?
