The real disaster on South Africa’s roads

• The underlying cause of South Africa's high vehicle fatality rates is lawlessness, not speeding, as drivers often disregard road rules.
• The minibus taxi industry has played a significant role in the collapse of driving etiquette in South Africa, disregarding road laws and setting a bad example for other motorists.
• The government's focus on speeding as the primary cause of accidents has been criticized, with many arguing that it ignores other serious offences and sends a message that law enforcement prioritizes revenue generation over road safety.
