AMHVoices:Our traffic laws are a mockery

AMH Voices
This makes one wonder when we became better than the Japanese when it comes to engineering, when we can not even manufacture a lawn mower!

SO the Japanese are crazy and too risky? True or false? Over 90% of cars on our roads are imported from Japan. They come with a set of tools including a spare wheel which the manufacturer tested and tried and we have never heard them recalling the cars for defects, including the wrong spare wheel world over.

Surprisingly of all the countries which import Japanese cars the Zimbabwean government passed a law which makes carrying this type of spare wheel a traffic offence.

This makes one wonder when we became better than the Japanese when it comes to engineering, when we can not even manufacture a lawn mower!

It is a crazy piece of law! Makes one wonder the calibre of our lawmakers or the motives behind some of these laws. Insisting on put ting certain types of reflectors on all vehicles when the cars are manufactured fitted with them. This is another ridiculous piece of law.

Some of our laws need reviewing.
