Avoid hotspots for rock-throwing attacks: AA
The Automobile Association of SA believes that deploying more security personnel to rock-throwing hotspots might not be the answer.
The association has been commenting after several 'rock throwing attacks' in KZN have been reported in recent weeks.
Spokesperson, Layton Beard says there's a chance people throwing and dropping rocks from bridges onto vehicles below will just move to different areas. He's given this advice to drivers.
"What some motorists can do is they can avoid the roads and bridges that have been identified as hotspots for rock-throwing. Avoid them specifically at night or low light. If you are a victim of a rock-throwing incident remain as calm as you possibly can and pull off where it is safe to do so - specifically if your windscreen has been damaged," he says.
