Mangled wreck

Once again, road accidents have taken a heavy toll on our South African roads. The horrific scenes of twisted metal on our roads are the grim reminder of many such accidents some one year back.

The problems are multiple: speed, bad driving, drunken drivers and unworthy vehicles. Just who, and when will all of this be fixed. Your guess is as good as the rainbow nation's guess. South Africans are slowly beginning to live with new driving skills: skipping red robots, overtaking on barrier lines, driving through yellow lines, etc.

The good cops are doing an excellent job albeit a few, bribery and corruption from the part of some drivers and some authorities has a direct impact on the road accidents. Don't these people realise that daily people are losing their lives.
