Minister Carlisle Welcomes National Transport Minister Ndebele's Call for Review of Speed Limit Legislation

20 September 2011

Media Statement by Robin Carlisle, Minister of Transport and Public Works

Whilst we would welcome a modest reduction in speed limits, that on its own will make very little difference to the carnage on our roads.

There is only one thing that will bring about a major reduction in road fatalities and that is to savagely punish the perpetrators.At the moment, killers on our roads get off scott-free or with laughable fines, as we have seen in the past few weeks in our provincial courts.

As long as people can get away with killing innocent people on our roads, the killing will continue.
