Some more stats about driving - over the Easter weekend 276 people died on South African roads, 20 died on Australian roads.
Only 2,5% of all registered vehicles in the world are found on the African continent - but it has 10% of all accident fatalities in the world. It is estimated that accidents cost us 2,5% of our GDP each year.
Faced with this, instead of tackling the problem, the Government decides to cut compensation to those affected. Pity the media can't pick up on the story in this way!
