Road deaths in December 2009 were higher than December 2008, contrary to the transport department's claims that they had decreased by 142, a driving skills company said on Monday.

"We have no reason to fiddle with figures, our aim as government is to save lives

Waaa haa haa

"The department is currently claiming the death toll for December 2008 to be 1348; it was actually 908. The death toll of 1050 for December 2009 is thus not a reduction, but an increase of almost 16 percent," he said in a statement.

:wtf: Eish.....backfire much...
