RTI targets reckless motorists in KZN
Motorists have appeared in court in connection with drunk driving and excessive speeding.
As KZN approaches the busy Easter holiday and Passover weekend, the Department of Transport stated that it is encouraged by the high level of firmness and no-nonsense approach displayed by its highly efficient Road Traffic Inspectorate teams.
The department is projecting an increase in traffic volumes with an estimated figure of above 1500 to 2000 vehicles per hour passing through tollgates starting from April 2.
Over the past few days, many motorists have appeared in court after their arrests for drunk driving and excessive speeding.
“To demonstrate that nobody is above the law, RTI is arresting any reckless motorists irrespective of their occupation and position in society,” said MEC for Transport and Human Settlements, Siboniso Duma.
In particular, the RTI Park Rynie team continues to execute #NenzaniLaEzweni Operation with efficiency.
The team rid KZN streets of several reckless drivers last week which included a teacher, doctor, attorney, taxi owner, SARS tax practitioner and more, to show that no one is above the law.
“We remain determined to reduce crashes and fatalities on our roads by building on a strong foundation we laid over the festive season,” added Duma.
