The public are in favor of traffic enforcement!
Just a quick note from an email sent to the Arrive Alive Road Safety website earlier today:
“I was very pleased to see – at last – a police presence on the N4 (Pretoria to Rustenburg) yesterday. Two patrol cars just cruising, one in each lane/ direction. I really believe this is the only way we will ever get on top of the driving problems that are otherwise set to increase in SA.
One failing is that people do slow down and obey road rules when they see the police, but as soon as they have passed them they speed up again or overtake dangerously as if to say “f*** you, buddy, you’ll never catch me!”
So it would be even better to have a couple of police cars in a row, the second of which would be more likely to catch offenders who think they are in the clear after passing the first patrol vehicle. But this would stretch police resources too much I suppose. At least if there are vehicles “out there” it is a start.”
I would like to invite all visitors / readers to this Blog to share their experiences on the road and to share them with the Arrive Alive road safety website!
