Bribery of traffic cops and drunken driving hit record high  | SA News

Bribery of traffic officers and drunken driving hit a record high this festive season with 48 motorists arrested for attempting to bribe traffic officers while drunken driving increased drastically.

The festive season holiday rush reached its peak this week, with more than 2,000 vehicles an hour travelling from Gauteng towards Limpopo, said the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC).

Traffic officers have developed a zero tolerance and harsher attitude towards bribery and drunken driving, spokesperson Simon Zwane said.

“A total of 48 motorists, the highest number ever, have been arrested for attempting to bribe traffic officers while 4,106 have been arrested for drunken driving.”
