According to the Road Traffic Management Corporation’s 2021 State of Road Safety in SA report, there were 10,611 fatal crashes in 2021 — a 26.4% increase over 2020 and a 2% increase over 2019. There were 12,545 road fatalities in 2021 . “By including bus drivers in the competition, we want to have a greater positive influence on enhancing road safety in SA. But the broader mission is to go beyond trucking and buses to cut risk and reduce road-accident claims and tragic loss of life,” said Dangerfield.
