About
The Road Safety & Arrive Alive Blog is maintained by Johan Jonck
Johan Jonck is the owner of the webdomain www.arrivealive.co.za - a website developed and maintained as a private initiative to enhance awareness of road safety - especially in South Africa.
I lost my mom in a car accident at the age of 2 years - and believe that even though we might not all have the money to provide funding for road safety initiatives - we can all contribute by way of intellectual capital and the sharing of ideas, recommendations etc.
I am not a techie myself - having read law and lectured in criminal law - I do however believe that if we acknowledge our limitations - and seek assistance from the wider blogging community - and also give credit to others - we can gather all the expertise out there and achieve the ultimate goal - greater road safety!
What drives me? - a quote I gathered from the movie Emperors Club - my interpretation- ” No matter how much you might have conquered - If you have not left behind a contribution - it is all meaningless…”
Dear Jonckie
Your contribution is very meaningful! I look forward to chatting with you about how my website can contribute positively to the Arrive Alive cause.
I’m sure that through these synergies your efforts will multiply exponentially.
All the best

Sir Jonckie,
Doing some research on road safety , I come across this blogging site…
I would to thank you and congratulate for the inspirations you have share into us, your blooming in the sad experience from the tragedy of life to be transform into a light for a better life.
A wonderful discovery that there are people getting together to spread the value of road discipline and in any stage of development any country in in to… All roads must lead to progress through safety and the responsibilities are in our hands to make it a reality.
Preventions is of high importance, through this exchange of our own learnings makes it easier to understand and grow faster in reacting productively to a healthy and safer lifestyle of living in our roads.
And for me most of all you show me, to be free from the mind of limitations to new possibilities to be of service to others.
There have been road accidents that I have been involved on to blame the system. Thanks for your enlightenment and inspiration.

I recently posted about a product called “Photoblocker” which prevents traffic cameras taking effective photos of number plates. Isn’t it time this product was declared illegal?

I posted an article of yours into the
http://www.exposethem.co.za forum.
I credited your web site.
I have built a forum web site which focuses on the mini bus taxi problem in South Africa.
I like your blog a lot. Auto Accidents need to be discussed more so more people can realize the danders that surround them on the roads each day. It’s people like you that are helping to make a difference
Mr. Jonck,
While doing research, I came across your site. I’m wondering if you have ever made mention of the dangers of vehicle occupant entrapment during water immersion. In the USA, over three hundred people die every year trapped in their sinking vehicles. A recent Canadian study faults water pressure as the main culprit since in cases like these the doors and windows are under so much pressure that they cannot be opened. A really clever, practical, and cheap idea has been around for several years and yet car manufacturers have yet to catch on. Adding a small mound of metal to the male end of the seatbelt during the manufacturing process costs next to nothing yet transforms the latchplate into a glass breaking tool. Every Safety expert recommends keeping a punch in the vehicle. This idea insures that they are built in, easy to find in any vehicle, and insures that you get you seatbelt undone before letting water in. If you decide to look into it further, Google “Escape Tip” to learn more. Keep up the good work!
