Buses, taxis and trucks checked in police blitz
According to the allAfrica.com news service, almost 100 000 buses, taxis and trucks have been checked across the country over the past week, as part of the December holiday traffic law enforcement operations. Between 14 and 20 November, 98563 public transport and freight vehicles and drivers were stopped and screened and 20613 fines for various offences were issued, 9815 of these were issued in Gauteng.
allAfrica.com also reports that this was done as part of the new National Rolling Enforcement Plan (NREP) and million-a-month vehicle check announced by Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndebele. During Cop17 and the December holidays, Ndebele said, traffic officers will be out in full force to ensure safe roads. Those who blatantly disregard road rules, he warned, will be arrested, detained, sentenced to a hefty fine or imprisonment and their driving licence will be cancelled or suspended. Drivers involved in fatal road crashes will face charges of murder or culpable homicide. "Let us drive to save lives, and end death on our roads," said the Minister.
