Trucks are having to transport a lot more of South Africa's freight thanks to the collapse of the country's rail network.

Unroadworthy vehicles, poor road conditions, especially potholes, and a lack of policing are listed as major concerns by transport companies.South Africa's trucking sector is most concerned about unroadworthy vehicles, poor road conditions, and a lack of policing, according to Webfleet's first-ever Road Safety Report.

"With the persistent culture of non-compliance amongst motorists and officials alike in South Africa, it is not very surprising that transport companies placed other road users as the leading risk factor in the collisions they experience," said Justin Manson, sales director at Webfleet, in response to the survey's results.

Other road users were cited as the top cause of collisions reported by responding transport companies. Being distracted while driving was the second-highest cause cited, followed by poor road conditions and fatigue. Poor road conditions were also cited as a major concern, with potholes"stated as particularly damaging and dangerous."
