KwaZulu-Natal Department Of Transport Campaign One >> 1/3
|
No to Fake Licences
Obtaining your Learner's and Driver's Licence in KZN will never be the same
again. In every province in our country, departments responsible for transport
related matters have been grappling with the following challenges:
-
Addressing the inequalities that arose during apartheid through separate
infrastructure development.
-
Addressing problems with existing infrastructure.
-
Addressing corruption relating to the issuing of driving licences.
-
Addressing the fact that our rate of accidents and road related fatalities are
unacceptably high.
You’ve all seen the negative publicity that these challenges have generated,
amongst others, such as exposes on MNet’s Carte Blanche programme, very
recently, spine chilling reports on ETV’s 3rd Degree programme, many talk shows
on SABC’s SAFM and other radio stations, and in countless newspaper reports.
Indeed, many of you may have even personally experienced these problems or at
least know of close friends or relatives who have.
The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport has spent millions of Rands
investigating fraud and prosecuting people over the years. And quite frankly,
even though there have been so many investigations, the problems have persisted.
In July of this year, the Department took a bold decision to do things very
differently in future. It was decided to spend money to eradicate the problems
rather than investigating the problems even more. These age old problems are
being addressed by using ground breaking technology, even in the deepest of
rural areas, which include:
- A new counterpart learners and driving licence card.
- Learner licence mobile units.

| 10 BASIC SAFETY TIPS >>
|
|
#1 Don't drive like
you own the road; drive like you own the car.
#2 Always wear your seat belt--and make sure all
passengers buckle up, too.
#3 Adjust your car's
headrest to a height behind your head--not your neck--to minimize whiplash in
case you're in an accident.
#4 Never try to fit more people in the car than you
have seatbelts for them to use.
#5 Obey the speed
limits, Going too fast gives you less time to stop or react. Excess speed is
one of the main causes of accidents.
#6 Don't go through red lights.
#7 Indicate your intention to
turn or to change lanes well in advance - this gives the cars behind you enough
time to react before you take the action.
#8 Make sure your windscreen is clean. At sunrise
and sunset, light reflecting off your dirty windscreen can momentarily blind
you from seeing what's going on.
#9 Make sure your
car has petrol in it. Unfortunately, getting stranded these days can be
dangerous and its always best to avoid it.
#10 Don't drink and drive, and don't ride with
anyone who has been drinking. Call parents or friends to take you home if you
need a ride.
