Please, can we put more pressure (continuous articles) on the Traffic Department for more staff, more patrols and action, especially on Knysna Road? In all my years using Knysna Road, I have not seen a single patrol car or someone being pulled over for a violation.

People skipping red lights nowadays is just as dangerous an issue, and you're right to ask - since when has this become the George way?

I was involved in a road rage incident not long ago when a motorist stopped dead in front of me at a green traffic light (opposite Dr De la Bat's rooms on Knysna Rd) to offload a passenger. When I confronted the driver, she swore at me and said: "What the taxis do, I can do too," which confirms that with no law enforcement, unacceptable and dangerous driving becomes the norm, because there are no consequences.
