Q: What car do you drive?
A: It’s an Opel Sandero Stepway I bought in 2016.
Q: Why do you like it?
A: I like it because it can transport my family and my business equipment without any hassles – it has enough space for me, has a good fuel consumption and is easy to drive.
Q: Why did you choose white?
A: I like white because it is an easy background colour to paint a brand on.
Q: Do you have a driver’s licence?
A: Yes, I got it few years ago.
Q: Do you have any traffic fines?
A: No, I do not have any because I am a careful driver.
Q: Have you changed anything in your car?
A: No, it is the same vehicle it was when I bought it.
Q: Does it have a name?
A: My kids have named it the Elephant. They say it does all the work at home.
Q: Do you let anyone else drive it?
A: Yes, but only my husband.
Q: How far have you travelled?
A: I have been as far as Limpopo and Mpumalanga.
Q: What do you think about other Mzansi road users?
A: Most motorists are impatient so they speed and cause crashes.
They do not give themselves or anyone else on the road with them enough of a chance when they change lanes. If anyone else is surprised or is not fast enough, there’s a collision and more deaths on our roads which could be avoided.
