Drunk drivers beware – 7 days in jail before your bail hearing

The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) wants drunk drivers to spend at least 7 days in jail before they can be considered for bail.

The RTMC was established for co-operative and coordinated strategic planning, regulation, facilitation and law enforcement in respect of road traffic matters.

with all the stuff that happens to people in lock up, is this not a bit harsh

They should jail people using their phones while driving for 30 days.

Go home rtmc you're being an idiot again

Don't drink and drive...

At least lock them up in a separate cell. No point being raped, getting aids and adding another HIV statistic to the country. Basically giving someone a death sentence for being over the limit.

It can get tricky though with diabetics or people on chronic medication/medical condition. Slammed in the holding cells for a week could kill him. Knowing SAP they will leave him in that cell to die.

easier to do that in areas with public transport sure

The only time I enjoy driving is when I'm drunk

It shouldn't be done. Like using phone while driving, it endangers other road users.

It’s easy to do in any area. You just don’t drink if you have to drive.

I doubt 1 or 2 drinks over lunch can get one arrested.

Wrong.
All depends on what it is.
It can...

Perhaps I was wrong since it also depends on what's meant by "drink". A huge beer mug is seen as one drink by some.... It's even worse with spirits.
