As a comparison: More South Africans were killed/died on our roads in vehicle accidents in ONE year than US soldiers in the Iraq war! And our total population is only 49m so you can do the sums of approximately how many drivers we have on our roads.

DaveM and DaveB - please correct me here if I've got the numbers/comparison wrong.

Over the year we lose about 30 people a day on the roads- that's about 11,000 a year.

We've discussed Joburg taxis. We also get rigs like this on our roads from time to time:

Over here, it's hard for us to believe some of this stuff since it would never be allowed here.
We think we have it bad (and do to some small extent), but nothing compares to what I've seen posted here.
It blows my mind!!!!
