Bad Driving

Road users have expressed the need to report blatant traffic offences, un-roadworthy vehicles, aggressive, irresponsible, negligent driving behavior and bad drivers
In order to provide for this need it was decided to establish a National Traffic Call Centre (NTCC) to give easy access to drivers, pedestrians and public road transport passengers on buses and minibus taxis to report bad drivers, unsafe vehicles and reckless and negligent driver behaviour; as well as fraud and corruption within the traffic situation.
The purpose of the Call Centre, as identified in the Road to Safety 2001-2005 Strategy and as part of the Arrive Alive Road Safety Campaign is to, with the assistance of commuters and road users in general, amongst others identify:

• the occurrence of road traffic offences on the road and street system 
• the types of offences committed by these road users
• the time and location of the most frequent offences
• fraud, bribery and corruption in traffic management, control and law-enforcement
• Identify and report bad drivers and bad driving 
  
  with the main objectives to: 
• promote voluntary compliance with traffic legislation
• reduce traffic contraventions and road rage
• improve safe and courteous road user behaviour
• increase the quality and broaden the scope of traffic information regarding hazardous or potential hazardous locations, offence and incident/accident prone areas, etc 
• to identify regular traffic offenders
• inform operators and owners of freight and public passenger vehicles of traffic offences committed or poor behaviour and road discipline displayed by their drivers.
