Are SA drivers taking advantage of open roads and less traffic during the holiday period? Well according to the Discovery Insure’s new Drive Trends research released last week, which reveals key road trip insights and critical information for staying safe on South African roads this December and January, that answer is YES.

Notably, Discovery Insure’s data reveals that with reduced bumper-to-bumper traffic, people tend to speed more over the year-end period. The Discovery Insure Holiday Drive Trends report is an analysis of Discovery Insure Vitality Drive members’ driving behaviour data. It covers the year-end holidays (from 1 December to 31 January) from 2021 to 2023.
