As provincial authorities prepare for the Easter long weekend, the Western Cape Provincial Traffic Services have significantly intensified roadside safety operations, resulting in an alarming 63 arrests for serious offences, including 51 for driving under the influence DUI over the past week, Cape town Etc reports.
These operations, aimed at ensuring safer roads for all motorists and pedestrians, coincide with the notoriously busy end-of-month traffic period.
Among the eye-opening incidents was the arrest of a minibus taxi driver in Knysna, charged with hitting a pedestrian on the N2 near Nekkies before fleeing the scene.
