I was reading an article on IOL "Inferno claims 22 lives after smash" and was horrified by the statement: "The government has announced plans to encourage drivers to replace their un-roadworthy minibus taxis with safer vehicles but the programme has been repeatedly delayed." Bring the law back to the roads, educate." Now that will help and by nature solve the "un-roadworthy" issue. I mean I am every day on the South African (mostly Johannesburg) roads and I see Taxis driving on oncoming traffic, forcing themselves through red robots (or stop signs) and creating new lanes everyday. Let’s start there first, but if you call the traffic department, their answer is: "Sorry, but we only take call for emergency situations". I wish the government would wake up to the reality, if you want to control crime, start with the "little" things like road rules, because if you can get away with those why not murder?
