Odd that aside from the speed there is an incidence of overloading in both instances — Corolla and motorbike. I hope the Hilux was a double-cab. We really need to foolproof our traffic laws so it protects even the clueless motorists. Instead we are busy charging people based on archaic laws that have far outlived their purpose.

Meanwhile some minister is dribbling saliva claiming that during the PF time one had to wear a bullet proof jacket when holding rallies.
Never saw HH in bullet proof jacket.

People are living in extreme poverty whilst our leaders are living in extreme luxury…globetrotting around the world in a private jet…is there any way we can get rid of all Politicians???? Excessive speed yes causes accidents but also the roads are very bad…no road marking and its hard to negotiate corners at night

This is what maxmising the capacity of the vehicle at the expense of survival can cost.

While the Minister’s still scratching his balls that he’s banned night travel, black numbered Quantum minibuses are loading people from Heroes to Kasumbalesa the whole night. Mwami, Chikakanta, Mazabuka etc are notorious for overloaded vehicles mostly owned by police officers. The same for most local routes in all provinces

The police at road blocks don’t care about the state of vehicles as long as you oil their palms. A Toyota Corolla can only accommodate five people which includes the driver. This one was carrying seven passangers. Add the driver that comes to eight people. This definitely impeded the drivers ability to manoeuvre safely.

Due to the collapsed passenger transport system motorbikes and smaller vehicles have become a menace on the roads not only in outlying areas but in towns as well. RTSA doesn’t have the capacity to police vehicles and local authorities which are present everywhere and from whose stations passengers are loaded have been stripped off of the mandate. Motorbikers don’t have licenses and they load up to 4 passengers. Just check general hospitals and find out how many bike accident victims are brought in weekly. Most Noah buses on the Copperbelt, Bottom road, Down Town etc aren’t fit to carry passengers but they do and pass through the many check points overloaded. Simply put, we’ve failed to govern ourselves
