Alcohol remains the leading factor in motor vehicle deaths. Worldwide estimates suggest that nearly 39 percent of FATAL crashes involve alcohol use. In South Africa, drunk drivers are seldom caught and when they are, pay small fines, often after having caused fatal accidents. The issues are enforcement, public awareness and increased investment in solutions. Your signature will enable us to petition the South African government to devote more resources to these effrts. Please forward this link to anyone who might wish to assist. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Shaun Abrahamson shaunabe@yahoo.com
