scotty Posted April 12, 2010 Share Looking at the stats the safest mode of transport in the WC is the mini bus taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted April 12, 2010 Share The Gauteng motorcycle fatalities is hardly a suprise, living in Magalies we see every man and his dog on a bike over a weekend racing through the village, wearing everything from full leathers, to shorts and flip flops and piss pot helmets!

udxcob Posted April 12, 2010 Share Our roads are incredibly dangerous. cyclist deaths are running at 5-6 a week and not 4' date='500 p.a.

29pgc10 Posted April 12, 2010 Share just a reminder, that in this game of life we only got one chance. be safe on road whatever you ride/drive and avoid dangerous situation. Discusing who-did-what or who's-fault-it-was will not bring your life back. It will be your family who will suffer most. My father tought me all those years ago that I have to be the most responsible driver on the road (and it goes for all of us speparately) beacouse ALL other road users around me are bunch of inconsiderate morons who concentrate more on their lives than actual action of driving (taking on cell phones, having pms, thinking about meetings, dates, new-carbon-frames, fighting with spause, checking the blonde with big tits in next car,,,,, fill your list here) and it is my responsibility to AVOID them in order to get home safe. we can not change 5milion motorised minds to make them suddenly take notice of us, but surelly we can change our ways to make it safe for ourselves.
