Haha wat de fok.

Remind me of the kind of people who would make a clean and clear fsckup (eg change lanes without looking or indicating, you then hoot making them aware of your presence right next to them) and then they'll fling their limbs around and scream and shout as if you were in the wrong and completely mental.

Which cars in SA have cruise control without ABS?

Off the top of my head, possibly a number of Mercedes-Benz & BMW models (and various other luxury makes) sold during the 1970's to late 1980's / early 1990's, that had a basic cruise control feature (on/off/faster/slower) fitted to their top-spec models, but before the fitment of ABS / EBD / ESC became a mandatory safety requirement?

Example - BMW E30 Cruise control stalk



Example - Mercedes-Benz W123 / W124 'Tempomat' Cruise control stalk

My mom's 1988 E30 had ABS.

Anyway I guess if you drive a 40 year old car with cruise control and no ABS, then you should switch cruise control off in the rain.

Both drivers are d*cks. Truck not keeping left, and Golf losing his cool.

Why is the truck in the right lane?

 

[ArmatageShanks]

Why is the truck in the right lane?

Perhaps he is going to turn right? Or was overtaking, or couldn't move to the left since joining the road because of c,unts like that constantly squeezing past.

Or he was just sitting in the right lane?

Sometimes the simplest answer is the most accurate.

Saw a silver Audi A1 on Cedar this morning (HJ 23 JP GP...or something). Impatient douchebag swerving through traffic and then sitting on the ass of delivery bikes. Only a matter of time before he causes an accident.

Indeed, however it wouldn't render the car driver innocent.

Agreed. Bad driving causes others to react badly.

Spoiler: Just another day on the road in SA

Keep left pass right, a very difficult thing to understand for some people.

It's the simplest law in traffic society. Why people fail to grasp that basic concept is beyond me.

I've discovered this to be very true now that I actually have a bit of commuting to do every day, on the R554 bit that I use you can clearly see groups of people all bunched up each trying to overtake the next making endless lane changes, all of them speeding etc etc

Its quite a thing to observe whilst cruising far behind them.

Really need to get a dashcam for Atlas Road in Boksburg, that bit is not a case of if I'll be involved in an accident but when.

Everyone understands that rule completely, but some don't give a shite and do what they like because why not, no one will stop them.

Any good deals on new dashcams here in ZA?

Plenty deals. Question is how much you want to spend?
