Road safety is everyone’s responsibility!

Cabinet has urged all road users to drive responsibly and for traffic officials to hold transgressors of the rules of the road to account. 

This comes after the preliminary statistics for the 2024/25 Festive Season Road Safety campaign showed that road fatalities, which are often a result of human behaviour, continue to plague the country.

“A total of 87% of crashes over the festive period were a result of human behaviour, which included hit-and-runs, jay-walking, fatigue, loss of control over vehicles, speeding, drunken driving and reckless overtaking. 

“These tragic road accidents ruin innocent lives, shatter families and cost our economy billions of rands a year,” Cabinet said in a statement released on Friday. 

The statement was released after the Cabinet meeting of Wednesday, 12 February 2025 and the Special Cabinet meeting of Wednesday, 29 January 2025. – SAnews.gov.za
