    Shouldn’t head-ons be the rarest of accidents? This is shocking

    Zimbabwe is second to South Africa in as far as road accidents are concerned. In the world. But why…?

    • Alson Sibanda

      Gerald Zungu the roads are poorly maintained but I would say Zimbabwe has the best of drivers as compared to SA which have smooth roads which are properly maintained

      Gerald Zungu Highways are narrow and not dualised. So if a car loses control it will cause head on collision which is usually fatal. I live in UAE which has a high number of cars and the drivers speed. Theres very few accidents because of the roads.

    I travelled a very long distance and got home safe. We should never take it for granted, we should thank God before and after every journey. MTSRIP
