Recent South African mini-bus fatal crash
2 comments :
1 It's now been reported that the driver of the coach didn't have the correct licensing. Could screw up any compensation from the insurers. 2 Haven't seen any seatbelts on any of the TV news shots shown here. Normal for SA mini-buses? (Possibly cut away by the emergency services.) -- M Stewart Milton Keynes, UK www.megalith.freeserve.co.uk/oddimage.htm http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/ms1938/ |

Only driver seats require seatbelts.
Just to be honest: The normal mini-bus taxi is a delipidated 16 seater which no sane tourist would trust with his life. In this case it was not such a mini-bus.

In this case it was not such a mini-bus. I believe initial reports indecate the accident was caused by a pedestrian as were 40% of the fatal accidents in KZN over the feastive season. I even saw hawkers on the side of the South Coast highway. AWA. Regards Richard Regards Nico "Jim Ley" wrote in message ...
