Officers can test for cannabis & cocaine at the roadside and screen for other drugs, incl. ecstasy, LSD, ketamine & heroin at a police station. Drivers that pass the roadside check can still be arrested if drug driving is suspected. Drug driving – it’s never worth it. #OpLimit

KZN authorities hunt reckless driver after video sparks outrage: KwaZulu-Natal transport authorities have launched a manhunt for a reckless driver captured in a shocking video, as officials ramp up a zero-tolerance crackdown on dangerous behaviour on the province’s roads. MEC for Transport and Human Settlements, Siboniso Duma, confirmed that the Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI) is actively searching for the driver and his associates, urging the suspect to hand himself over. Members of the public with information have been called on to assist. The video has drawn widespread condemnation, with authorities saying the public backlash strengthens ongoing efforts to curb reckless driving. The latest incident comes despite a reported decline in road fatalities and crashes over the Easter and Passover weekend. Duma warned that intensified enforcement under operations such as #NenzaniLaEzweni and Operation Shanela will target reckless motorists, illegal street racers, and modified high-speed vehicles posing a threat to public safety. “Weekends should be about family time, not funerals caused by irresponsible driving,” Duma said, adding that social media will increasingly be used to identify and track offenders. Authorities have urged citizens to submit evidence of dangerous driving, vowing swift action against offenders across all sectors, including private motorists, taxi operators, and truck drivers. The RTI says the message is clear: reckless drivers will be found and removed from the road. WATCH:
