South Africa’s roads are among the deadliest in the world, with many crashes caused by drunk driving, low seatbelt use, poor roads, and weak law enforcement. Over half of all road deaths involve alcohol, and most people don’t regularly buckle up, making accidents even more deadly. Broken roads and overcrowded taxis add to the danger, while many drivers lack proper training. To fix this crisis, South Africa needs stronger laws, better education, and a big change in how people value safety and life on the road.
