This is according to motorists polled by the Automobile Association (AA) in a recent survey. The survey also found that only 8% of motorists feel safe while travelling on South African roads over this period.

According to the results of the poll, conducted in early December, 62% of motorists regard drunk driving as the biggest problem on the country’s roads. Apart from speeding and a lack of law enforcers, the survey found that motorists believe unlicensed drivers also pose a major problem.
