urged motorists to drive with caution.
‘’I appeal to those who are still traveling after the July
winter break to be extra vigilant, practise good driver behaviour, comply with
the rules of the road, stay within the legal speed limits and observe adequate
rest periods during travel in order to avoid fatigue,’’ said Ricardo Mackenzie,
Western Cape’s Mobility MEC.
‘’It is not business
as usual on our roads as many are rushing to reach their destination in
preparation of the schools reopening tomorrow. I plead with motorists to drive with
care today, and every day,’’ he added.
