Post-crash response
“Our human compassion binds us, the one to the other, not in pity
or patronizingly, but as human beings we learnt how to turn
common suffering into hope for the future”
Nelson Mandela
World-wide, over 1.3 million people die and up to 50 million are injured
annually.
Approximately 14 000 people die on South African roads annually with
more than 140 000 being injured.
The cost of crashes to the South African economy, according to the World
Health Organization formula (WHO) is estimated at R307 billion rand per
annum.
South Africa is a member of the Decade of Action (DOA): 2011-2020 which
aims to halve road crash fatalities by 2020.
The Road Traffic Management Corporation is an agency of the Department
of Transport mandated to provide for cooperative and co-ordinated strategic
planning, regulation, facilitation and law enforcement in respect of road
traffic matters across the three tiers of government.

The major crash investigation data was used to analyse the contributory factors.
The following were the leading human factors: driver failing to keep a proper lookout, fail to
keep vehicle under control, overtook when unsafe.
The top two leading vehicle factors were tyre burst, vehicle maintenance poor/in adequate.
The top three leading factors for road and environment were traffic light, poor condition of road
surface and road signs poor / inadequate.

Part 3
Road Safety Interventions
51
Purpose
The purpose of the National Rolling Enforcement Plan is to co-ordinate road
traffic enforcement across the three tiers of government with a view to
effective and efficient traffic operations.
Impact:
Better detection of driver and vehicle fitness infringements
Greater awareness of road traffic enforcement in the media
The alcohol abuse blitzes have created a better compliance among road
users in those authorities where it is regularly implemented.
Improvement in data collection
Effective coordination
52
Western Cape Eastern Cape
53
Challenges:
Lack of commitment by some authorities
Lack of uniformity and standardization
Ineffectual implementation and limited monitoring and evaluation
Insufficient public awareness/education in road safety
Future Plans:
Underscoring the plan to stop and check a minimum of 1 million vehicles;
Perform a minimum of 10 000 screenings for alcohol nationwide per month.
Blitzes to be conducted nation-wide by all authorities on exactly
the same focal areas and same dates stipulated on the plan.
Ongoing analysis of crash data and HAZLOCS for strategic ops planning.
54
Purpose
The intervention is aimed at combating alcohol abuse on our roads. The
innovative aim of this operation is for each uniformed officer to arrest a
minimum of one drunkard per month.
Reach:
The principle of a minimum of “one drunkard, per officer, per month” MUST
be enforced in order to rid our roads of drunken drivers who cause fatal
crashes.
Impact:
It is expected that 17 000 drunken driver/pedestrians will be arrested per
month. It has NEVER been done before and sustainability to this assures
the reduction of offence and fatality figures.
Challenges: Lack of support from all authorities.

the learners with their project and to try and implement proposed solutions.
Proposed solutions from learners are never implemented
Future Plans:
This programme will be merged with a new programme called Photovoice by
Safe kids worldwide.
72
73
Purpose

76
Challenges:
Failure to effectively address the needs of the freight industry such as economical driving and load
safety issues
Poor communication about the competition, as a result the same participants enter the competition
every year.
Success largely depends on private sector participation
Small business disadvantaged
Future Plans:
To ensure that the competitions incorporate the SAQA certified unit standards for professional drivers.
This will expose the drivers to a more controlled education and training environment.
To engage with the Transport Education and Training Authority for this training to form part of skills
development initiative.
To put measures in place in order to encourage transfer of skills to new/developing drivers
To influence SADC to adopt this programme

centres (travelling costs, seeking permission from parents, time to travel).
Future Plans:
Invest in mobile JTCC’S-
All schools will have at least one JTCC that will be enrich the learners
understanding of the theory they have learned in class.
Maintenance costs are very minimal
