Road deaths - Non-national road safety a major issue

AMID the attention to the carnage on our roads, much more consideration should be given to the growing phenomenon of serious road accidents involving foreign nationals, especially driving left-hand drive cars.

It can be extremely hazardous for such drivers passing a large vehicle on our narrow secondary roads, because the drivers have to pull out so far before they can get a proper view of the road and any possible oncoming traffic.

Special consideration must be afforded to reasons for the high number of foreign drivers involved in road accidents.
