Safer vehicles save lives

Traffic officers must check these vehicles and not only stop lone women drivers.

IT has been another black week on South Coast roads.

Ten people have been killed – eight of whom died in a horror crash on the N2 near Izingolweni last Saturday – and many have been injured including an on duty traffic officer.

The N2 accident involved a truck and a small bakkie.

Passengers in bakkies and minibus taxis are not strapped in. When these vehicles are involved in crashes the passengers are flung out.

Perhaps it is time for taxi, bus and bakkie passengers to buckle up.

Traffic officers must check these vehicles and not only stop lone women drivers.
