Indian Ocean Drive is NOT open

I received a phone call on Sunday from a girlfriend who has a holiday house in Green Heads. After ringing Main Roads to see if the Indian Ocean Drive was open. The Main Roads representative said it not open but ahead of schedule and the only day our workmen don’t work is Sunday. Well on Sunday, what did my friends do? They drove home on the Indian Ocean Drive and enjoyed the spectactular ocean views of the Indian Ocean. It is important to know that if you have an accident on a closed road, you are not covered by insurance. Is the saving of 45 mins really worth the risk?
