Insurance data shows that drivers in South Africa are getting worse

New research published by Dialdirect Insurance shows that the Coivd-19 lockdown has had a further negative effect on motorists’ driving habits and adherence to rules.

Every day I see people texting and driving like it's normal behaviour. I'm telling you now it's this.

Every day I see people not stopping at intersections, and traffic circles and then having the cheek to flip me the bird when I try and get a gap into the circle after having waited some time.

Dial Direct is so small so I presume their data is like the comand council's data on smoking.

Not that I disagree with the statement that driving is worse than ever and getting worse.

But hey it falls on the anc as all the disfunction in the country does.

I wonder if they've factored in avoidance of potholes/taxis. Probably accounts for 76% of accidents in SA.

We were on the N7 from Calvinia to Cape Town on Monday.
The amount of people overtaking on solid lines and blind rises are staggering.
I will add this in. Mostly Fortuner, Hilux, Audi and Ford Ranger drivers.

In the city and towns as mentioned, texting and driving.

Lady drove into me at the stop street
"I didn't realise you would stop" she said, "and there was no warning"
I showed her the brake lights that worked
"My husband is an attorney" she said
"I trust he is as crooked as you" I replied
R 170k damage, and car is 3 months old

Agreed. I see this all the time. ride a motorbike and you'd see it every single day. It's a direct result of these pathetic apps screaming at us all the time.

Stop sign has become a Pause sign if you are lucky.These days when walking, I make sure the car will stop or go past when I cross the road at the stop sign.
