<\/a><\/p>\nRecent data published by the World Health Organisation shows that South Africa ranks among the worst countries in the world for road safety, with over 25 mortalities per 100,000 population due to road incidents.<\/p>\n
More specifically, the WHO’s report on road safety shows that South Africa ranks around 40th in the world for its high number of road deaths, estimated at 14,500 deaths in 2018, representing a mortality rate of 25.9 people per 100,000 population.<\/p>\n
The WHO rates South Africa’s laws targeting poor driving as inadequate, including drunk driving laws, speeding laws, helmet laws and child safety laws. The only area of law deemed effective is seatbelt laws, it said.<\/p>\n
These are the accident hotspots as identified by the JMPD:<\/p>\n
