Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Road Traffic Crashes is a globalproblem; it is alsoa leading cause of injuries and death to every South African citizen residing or traveling abroad. Vehicles made travel easy and supports socio-economic development in many countries. An alarming number of road users (driver, passenger, pedestrians and cyclists) in South Africa and particularly Gauteng perish on the road due to accidents. Each year, these vehicles are involved in crashes that are responsible for millions of deaths and injuries.Each year, 1.25 million people are killed on roadways around the world and each day, an estimated 3,400 people are killed globally in road traffic crashes.Road traffic injuries are estimated to be the eighth leading cause of death globally and the current trends show that by 2030, road traffic injuries will become the seventh leading cause of death globally.Road traffic injuries place a huge economic burden on low and middle-income countries, therefore, motor vehicle crashes are a public health concern. Despite being a global and national problem, some of these injuries and deaths can be preventable since the majority ofroad fatalities and injuries are not accidents but human error or caused by human factors. Law enforcement and integrity plays a major role in ensuring adherence to traffic laws.
