Zero Tolerance Manifesto

1. Passengers and Pedestrians

You are assisting the driver to commit a crime if you:

• board an overloaded vehicle
• board a vehicle driven by a drunk driver
• board a car driven by an unlicensed person
• are not wearing a safety belt in a moving vehicle
• do not look right, left and right again when crossing the road

You are failing in your duty to reduce deaths on roads if you fail to report road law offenders.

2. Driver

You are committing a crime if you:

• drive an overloaded vehicle
• drive a vehicle whilst drunk
• drive a speed higher than the designated speed limit
• drive without a valid drivers license
• drive an unroadworthy vehicle
• do not wear a seat belt whilst driving
• use a cell phone without a valid drive-and-talk device
• attempt to bribe a road traffic officer
• attempt to bribe an officer testing and issuing road worthy certificates

It is every road user’s duty to report road safety offences to the Mpimpa Hotline on 086 221 10 10
