In light of the recent incident this weekend, whereby a motorist had to defend himself and shot dead one of three armed robbery suspects who placed car spikes on the R80 highway, what can you do as a motorist in the event of such an unfortunate situation?

Gauteng motorist kills suspect who placed spikes on R80 highway as police launch manhunt for two othersAbramjee said motorists should not stop in dark and potentially dangerous places, even if it meant damaging their rims further. He said the road spiking incidents were of great concern and said he was continuously calling on the police to take urgent and decisive action.

“We're now seeing that these criminals are striking in other areas, which is very very worrying,” he said. “I call on the police to make sure that they beef up their patrols in the affected areas. While some arrests have been made, it appears that a number of smaller gangs are still operating. We need to see police beef up their operations,” he said.

Layton Beard, the spokesperson for the AA, said getting the AA’s Armed Response could add a security layer for vulnerable motorists. The service costs about R30 a month, and in the case of a motorist sending a distress signal, it would immediately alert the nearest armed response provider in the area to provide safety for a motorist while they wait for help.

EDITORIAL | The state capture inquiry has been expensive, but importantThe commission has done great work in exposing the scale of corruption. Let it complete its work Useless commission people are enjoying life It’s the whole anc/government so the only way you will finish it is by get rid of all of them Why are we wasting money the same questions asked in the commission can be asked in a court of law as the prosecutors have already investigated the transgressions in question. What a waste of taxpayers money we can't afford, wasteful as they do with everything else in our country
