Winter Solstice and Driving in South Africa

Anyone noticed how the fuckwits seem to appear on the roads whenever there's a full moon? On top of which, today in the southern hemisphere, is the Winter Solstice meaning that the earth now starts its long slow movement back towards creating warmer weather here in Southern Africa. I don't know if it's the same where you guys live, but drivers here in South Africa generally don't give a damn about other roadusers, pedestrian, cycle or motorised. It just seems to be worse today though...travelling back from a customer visit, cars were all over the place, changing lanes, cutting people off, honking at each other impatiently. South Africans, with one of the highest death rates on their roads, need to learn some road savvy before they become one of the statistics everyone is "so concerned" about...
