More than 200 people have lost lives on Gauteng’s roads

More than 200 people have lost their lives on Gauteng’s roads since the beginning of the festive season. Gauteng Traffic Police spokesperson Sello Maremane says speeding, unsafe overtaking, and reckless and negligent driving were some of the contributory factors to the fatalities.

He says last night they arrested a motorist for driving at a speed of 174 kilometres per hour on the M1 freeway in Johannesburg. Maremane says they will continue to intensify law enforcement operations ahead of the New Year’s celebrations.

“Our province continues to experience rainfall and the roads may be wet and slippery, therefore, we call upon motorists to be extremely cautious when driving. Our traffic officers will be on the ground to counter lawlessness and reckless behavior.
