Question

Critically discuss the success and failure of road accident fund?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Road Accident Fund, referring to reports from the United Nations and the World Health Organisation , stated that road traffic injuries were a global problem affecting all sectors of society that had received insufficient attention partly because of a lack of political responsibility. Road traffic injuries cost low and middle-income countries between 1% and 2% of their gross national product: of all deaths caused by injuries, 22.8% were caused by road traffic accidents, a far higher percentage than deaths caused by war injuries (3.4%) and violence (10.8%). Road traffic injuries were the second leading cause of death in persons aged between 5 and 14, the first leading cause of death in persons aged 15 to 29 years, and the third leading cause of death in persons between 30 and 44 years. In brief, road accidents had their biggest impact on the youngest in society worldwide. South Africa, with 33.2 road traffic deaths per 100 000 of population, ranked amongst the highest in Africa. According to data from the Road Traffic Management Corporation, in 2008 there were 12 011 fatal accidents in South Africa, in which 14 057 people lost their lives – 38 people a day.
