The Congress of the People said it is
disappointed at the increase of road deaths over the Easter break.
This as Minister of Transport Dipuo Peters
announced that road deaths over this period increased to 287 compared to 2014
where it was 193.
Cope Spokesperson Dennis Bloem said drivers
behave with impunity because they feel they can escape the consequences of disobeying
the rules and laws of the road.
Bloem said the government is forever making
empty promises that government is serious in bringing down the number of deaths
whilst it is true that safety in the hands of the people but government is key
in securing our roads are safe.
Bloem said COPE calls upon the minister and
the government to stop these empty promises and to do more on the roads.
