Clearly the Grim Reaper has allies in the form of reckless motorists like this one below

This is why so many lives are lost on roads. Reckless 

drivers like this vehicle between Swakopmund and 

Walvis Bay in the Erongo Region. Then we as ordinary 

law abiding citizens are too scared to take 

on roads anymore, because of hooligans like 

this. This scenarios will dominating our roads as long 

as reckless drivers know authorities are not doing 

anything tangible to bring them to book. 

According to the Motor Vehicle Accident Fund 

305 people died in motor vehicle related accidents in 

more than 1800 accidents, while 3072 people 

were injured. This is butcher's list is 

only up to end July. 

A taxi photographed while overtaking at a high speed 

on a double solid line between Swakopmund

and Walvis Bay on Sunday 5 August around 

09h00. Taking into account this is close 

to Vierkantklip south of Swakopmund 

a busy road, limited space for both vehicles and 

pedestrians as this a holiday and recreational spot. 

Same taxi around midday this time speeding in
a zone marked for it's potential dangers for both motorists and
pedestrians. This spot at Langstrand ( Long Beach )
is notorious for it's fatalities and several people
lost their lives here due to motor accidents and
reckless driving. Just a pity the registration
plate is not clear enough.
