South Africa: Premier Modise Calls for Suspension of Driver Licenses of Drunk Drivers Involved in Road Deaths

press release

Road Traffic law enforcement authorities should consider immediate suspension of driver licenses of drunk motorists involved in road crashes in which lives are lost, North West Premier Thandi Modise said in reaction to the arrest of a 35-year-old driver for drunken driving following a crash that claimed five lives on Monday in Ledig near Sun City.

"Driver behaviour still accounts for most crashes and road fatalities and should be dealt with harsher because one death on our road is a death too many," highlighted Premier Modise.
