You will see on the bend just before the accident took place, he nearly lost control also.

I think he was looking back to see if the passengers managed to touch paws like they were trying, looked back on the road and saw he was heading for the curb and then then overcompensated and panicked.

Probably was a borrowed car too since he obviously had no idea how sensitive the steering is.

Yeah,kudos to the other car for being aware of whats going on.Stopped just in time, see the culprit managed a last second swerve to avoid the collision. Flattened that light pole good and proper. Wonder if anyone at the ear institute hear the crash?

Using this thread to post this video i recorded last night.
Passengers were trying to touch each others hands between two cars and then one driver lost control.
Nearly hit a car head on!

This happened in Claremont last night.

So... I got a message from jukinmedia.com about buying this clip from me.
After doing some research, they seem legit and it looks like something they do regularly.

Wonder how much they offer for things like these and if I should go for it.

In 2004 about 50% of all fatal accidents were because of pedestrians...

I unfortunately don't have stats, but I remember reading stats that showed that about half of road accident fatalities in South Africa were pedestrians.

+1

oh but it is, in the middle 80's they were ticketing people in cape town for jaywalking and the fine was R25 or there abouts.

In Jo'burg as well, my sister was ticketed for crossing against the "red man" at a robot near the Carlton Centre

Edit: Damn, just saw how old this thread was - wondered why Wayne was interested.

Frikking idiots!

The luckiest guy of all is the completely innocent one who is probably still cleaning his underpants after missing that head on!!

Lol my gran lives near that Midas. What a chop.

Wish we knew who the insurer was (if it has), so that we could send it to them so they can reject the claim...

That one will be taken down soon
Instead of embedding the original video, they edited it and uploaded to their own channel.

Surely the copyright laws on videos posted to YouTube forbids that?

One of the commentators on wheels24 has a point, City of Cape Town need to claim against the drivers as well.

That's one thing (of many) I absolutely hate about News24. They take viral videos off youtube and then add their good-for-nothing presenter intros, etc to it. Just show the damn video you idiots!

Given the start point of the video (Main Road), I strongly suspect that the guilty parties were leaving the Claremont clubs. Explains the behaviour perfectly.

In my opinion, CoCT should also nail the drivers with reckless and negligent driving criminal charges.
