This powerful advertisement was placed in Night Clubs and warned patrons against the dangers of drinking and driving!! The Arrive Alive Road Safety Website would like to urge all club owners to join in the efforts to combat drunk driving. A sober or responsible customer on the way out is a customer who might visit the venue again…!!
Would you like to know more about the different licence categories for different vehicles? This was one of the requests raised earlier today with the Arrive Alive Road Safety website.
Subject: License for different vehicle types
Question: Hi there, thank you for a wonderful website ! Could you assist me in finding out where I could find out information regarding what Licence is Required for different vehicle types ? We were told by the dealer that my Mercedes Sprinter 17-seater 315 CDI did not need more than a Code 8 but one of our staff was stopped by the Traffic Police and told that it does need a Higher Code licence ! Can you assist me please?
Answer: Hopefully the attached regulatory extract helps. I also attach the professional driving licence requirements. I have highlighted the words or ‘designed or adapted’…note that even if the number of passengers including the driver is less than 12 persons a PrDP is still required if it is ‘designed or adapted’ to carry 12 or more.

KwaZulu-Natal Transport MEC Bheki Cele says the safety of eight of the people who died in this morning’s accident at Shongweni had already been compromised by the fact that they were being transported on the back of a bakkie.
Cele was speaking at the scene of the accident on the N3 west of Durban where 10 people died. Four were seriously injured and airlifted to hospital. Cele says people are not adhering to the law.
Meanwhile, the death toll from the mornings accidents have risen to 25. A truck allegedly swerved to miss a pothole on the P272 between Dundee and Osizweni and collided head-on with an oncoming minibus taxi. Among the 12 passengers who died was a four-year-old child. Five others were critically injured.
In another accident, three people were killed when their vehicle overturned near Mtubatuba, on the North Coast.
The Arrive Alive Road Safety website would like to express condolences to the relatives of those who passed away in these accidents.
