That is ****ing terrible.

The total for the year is about 30 000 so its below average

I can see how that figure is correct judging by when we came back from Transkei, on our 3hr trip, we counted 9 "stupid" things like overtaking on blind rises and 1 ovetaking in yellow lines, it was crazy.

What are the figures for regular months?

Seems its lower than last year so what's the issue?

Nearly that amount died when the titanic sank 100 years ago...

This tragedy is repeated every year, without dominating the headlines for months like the titanic sinking.

Who will remember this in 100 years?

Its roughly the average actually.. so no, its not a momentary tragedy...

Its a tragedy that they never highlight except for over Christmas...
