MVA reported three road fatalities this weekend alone,,,,

Namibian roads are become more than a death trap 

as to date from January this year 

473 ( confirmed ) deaths were reported. 

This means that at least 1.26 lives are lost daily 

on our roads. Roads are suppose to mean development 

and prosperity, not death and destruction. 

During he same time since January 2012 

almost 4700 people were injured in about 

3000 accidents. This is not surprising to me 

as I almost on a weekly base receive pictures and 

horror stories via my FB on how motorists 

plainly ignore all road safety regulations. ( see 

first picture underneath) 

This is not limited to a certain ethnic group as 

we all are make believe that "they" are the bad drivers. 

Every day while  driving in Windhoek 

I see with my own eyes how prominent 

residents in their big shiny cars drive like bats from hell. 

Ignoring road markings, fail to stop at stop signs, 

overtaking blindly on dangerous roads. getting irritated 

while those who abide by the speed limits are 

shouted at or even thrown finger signs not to mention 

being insulted when he pass on a solid line.

And my question to you Mr. Rich White-Guy, are you 

above the law while you refer to the so called"them" 

as pathetic drivers? When we sit around talking 

we all refer to the taxi drivers as the scum of the roads, 

but we are no better drivers ourselves, and that is evident 

by just driving in the morning from Windhoek's Avis 

residential area to the city barely 5 minutes drive. 

And the faces behind the steering wheel? 

not taxi drivers but prominent you and me? 

undated picture of a driver ignoring the
solid markings between Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, then we ask
why are there so many death on this stretch?

When we stand at an open grave when one
of our children died in a motor vehicle accident, and
wonder why?

Another reason for the high accidents reported.
The owner of this "breath" claimed to drink only one drink,
but his actions caused an accident costing the
other parties several thousands of N$. 

Even under the influence pedestrians
are a danger to motorists...
