England fans may feel down at the prospect of coming home this early in the tournament however at least they can look forward to safer roads: According to the AA, there are up to 8 times more road deaths in South Africa than the UK.
Despite the South Africa Government investing well over £300 million in their road network, they still couldn’t substantially improve their safety rating. The South African also have different driving rules and regulations. Although they do drive on the left hand side of road like ourselves.
