Dr Lee Randall has been an occupational therapist for over 35 years, encountering many crash survivors in her caseload. Her PhD study involved a bioethical review of Johannesburg minibus taxi drivers’ work conditions, driving behaviour and road safety, framed against global best practice. She went on to co-found the Road Ethics Project in 2019 with the aim of fostering ethical literacy around the crisis of preventable road crashes, injuries and deaths. From 2020 to 2023 she did post-doctoral research at the Wits School of Public Health, focused on travel behaviour, paratransit and road safety benchmarking in the SADC member states. She is currently an independent researcher, road safety advocate, active roleplayer in the SADC Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety, and member of the Australasian College of Road Safety (ACRS) and Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety.
