Worst drivers in SA revealed: VW Polo drivers take top position, study shows

In more driving news, Briefly News previously reported that the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) conducted a study of South African drivers, called South African Fatal Crashes in Context, to ascertain which cars are most commonly driven by the country's worst drivers.

The top three cars used by South Africa's worst drivers are Toyota Hilux, Volkswagen Polo and Toyota Quantum. However, the majority of the country's worst drivers drive VW Polos, as they have recorded the highest number of speeding fines and fatal accidents.

The period studied was from October 2017 to June 2021, during which 37 583 fatal car accidents resulting in 45 232 deaths took place, TimesLIVE reports. 16.7% of these accidents involved a VW Polo.
