Safety first
THE END OF THE YEAR
is coming towards us and
with it, the holiday season; that time of year infamous
for road carnage.
Somewhere it was said that 54% of road deaths in SA
are pedestrian-related; people running across freeways
or simply stepping off pavements without first looking.
While this may be true, vehicle accidents can kill scores
of people in one terrible blow.
With the number of truck and bus-related accidents
reported recently and thus still fresh in our minds, I
can only hope that operators are going to have safety
uppermost in their minds when deploying fleets across
the country.
However, while we lambaste the trucking fraternity
and curse the buses and taxis, traffic education starts
with the children. Who of you remembers the Road
Safety classes we had in Primary School, where, on
either bicycles or tricycles (dependent on age and
ability) the children rode around a track that was a mini
representation of a road network, complete with yield
and stop signs, overseen by ‘Traffic Officers’ who would
direct and correct ‘bad’ driving?
I was thrilled to hear that apparently there is such a
facility in Randburg – the Randburg Junior Traffic
Training Centre – recently renovated, complete with
working traffic lights
(which in reality is not the
case in Joburg, especially after a storm, but I
digress...)
I look forward to seeing the roll-out of this facility in a
generation of courteous and responsible drivers, who
no longer see taxi operators as a point of reference,
who understand the responsibility of driving a vehicle
and who don’t see a pedestrian as a running target…
So, on that considerate note, we here at TFL/CEN wish
you and yours a safe and relaxing Festive Season!
