Reckless driving incidents fall by 38% across Africa – Yango report

Yango Ride, a ride-hailing service, has reported a 38% decrease in reckless driving incidents across Africa in its 2024-2025 Safety Report. The company attributes this reduction to the implementation of updated driving style analysis, speed control measures, and enhanced privacy and anti-fraud systems. In specific countries, the decline in reckless driving incidents varied, ranging from 33% in Senegal to 49% in Zambia.

The report also indicates a 11% decrease in post-trip contact complaints in Côte d'Ivoire, 22% in Angola, 8% in Senegal, and 4% in Zambia following the rollout of privacy-protecting call technologies. These improvements are the result of a comprehensive safety framework that operates before, during, and after each ride, ensuring the well-being of both passengers and drivers.
