Do all SADC Police work from the road side like ours?It is rare that you see Police impound unroadworthy vehicles all they do is fine the offending driver and wave him on especially public transport. Surely the government can come up with a more civilised and international recognised way of collecting fines. The current state of affairs where drivers are stopped frequently by the Police for purposes of bribery and harrassment is enough to cause tempers to flare and increases the chances of accidents. Making a provision in the Highway Code for road signage from other countries in the Southern African Development Community (Sadc) WHEN THERE IS NO SIGNAGE FOR ZIMBABWEANS (a ridiculous idea) without improving the roads themselves is not going to reduce accidents. THEN THERE ARE THOSE POT HOLES!!!How is a new HC going to make these problems go away? There is no lighting at all which reduces visibility especially and night and in bad weather. There are no special lanes for fast traffic and slow traffic and none for buses and heavy duty traffic.Traffic stops where ever the driver decides and signage is non existent on some roads. They do not cater for the increased volume of traffic. Our roads are bad for modern day traffic. A new Highway Code is not going to single handedly reduce road acccidents.
