The Automobile Association isn’t one to wade into political waters, but its latest press release is bound to stir the pot. Those who brave the highways and byways of Gauteng every day will surely resonate with the AA’s concerns. With a noticeable rise in blue-light convoys on the province's roads, the AA warns that these VIP brigades are endangering the safety of everyday motorists, per The Citizen.
As it stands, Blue Light Brigades are allowed to disobey certain road rules , but that shouldn’t mean that they are above the law. As Groenewald argues, when the safety of other motorists and people on the road is completely disregarded, that becomes a major problem. The AA recently said it is still receiving numerous complaints from members about these high-speed motorcades, per IOL.
