It's time to take action and report bad driving

There is some pretty dangerous driving on the roads. It's time to report bad driving. Please take out your cell phone right now and make a note of this number:
0861 400 800
It's the number you can dial to report bad driving. It's run by the Dept of Transport and you can find out more information at www.arrivealive.co.za
They send warning letters to vehicle owners if there is sufficient information available:
  • Vehicle registration
  • Make, Model, Colour of Vehicle
  • Time and place of incident
  • What happened.
Please pass on this number to all your friends. They are interested in all bad driving, be it taxis, trucks, passenger vehicles, etc. They are also gearing up for the driver demerit system next year.
I wrote the database program for the after-hours reports received by this number, so I know the system works.
