AA: Driver attitudes could make roads safer
Updated | By MornéJK
A survey done by the Automobile Association of South Africa shows that many people are worried about safety on the roads over the festive period.

The survey found that drunk driving, speeding, and a lack of law enforcers are among the biggest safety concerns for drivers over the festive period.
Only 8 percent of motorists traveling over the festive period indicated that they feel safe on the roads.
"According to the results 62% of motorists regard drunk driving as the biggest problem on the country's roads," the AA says.

Apart from speeding and a lack of law enforcers the survey also found that motorists believe unlicensed drivers pose a major problem.
"The results are indicative of what we have been saying for a long time: that the attitude of South African drivers is simply not good enough," the statement reads.
Motorists also indicated that they drive an average of three hours before stopping to take a break.
"We would encourage all drivers to change this by stopping every two hours or 200 kilometres to refresh and relax. Being tired behind the wheel is extremely dangerous and stopping regularly ensures that you maintain focus for the whole journey," the AA says.
