Unroadworthy vehicles a 'huge problem' in SA

The reasons for the incidence of road traffic crashes involving heavy commercial vehicles is not the mere presence on the road of heavy commercial vehicles during peak hours as Minister Dipuo Peters proposed regulation implies, it is:

1 The presence of unroadworthy vehicles on the road (failure of traffic police to impound unroadworthy vehicles).

2 The presence of unlicensed drivers on the road (failure of traffic police to apprehend unlicensed drivers).
