The crash this week of an official BMW SUV carrying KwaZulu-Natal Transport MEC Peggy Nkonyeni should be the spur to consider a number of road safety issues.

That sounds more likely: Either the car hit a pothole and burst a tyre, causing it to overturn, or it rolled when trying to avoid a pothole.
