Bad Driving thread

It appears so - but you don't know what sort of load the truck was carrying.

Shouldn't make a difference. If the truck was so heavily laden, it would be difficult for it to get up to high speed in any case. Also remember, this was a 60km/h road.

He made no attempt to slow down.

Still doesn't make it right. What if he took out a few cars or pedestrians in the process.

Fair points.

Same intersection last month from a Whatsapp group.

To be fair he probably couldn't have stopped in time.

Then he was speeding. And doesn't necessarily mean he was going faster than the speed limit, but going to fast for what the truck could safely do.

Good...

TBH, I've actually found most companies and also Durban Metro are pretty decent at dealing with things like this....

This white Captiva FSC 661 EC thought that red lights are for losers and that it probably doesn't apply to her, so she went and sped through it going down Cape Road the other morning.

Never mind the fact that the filter light for cars joining into Cape Road where I was standing was on it's 3rd flash by the time she bolted past...

Once again a special **** won't join the queue but tries to but in. The 2 cars in front of me keep him out and I stay close enough that he can't get in front of me either. The traffic stops and he then squeezes down the gap on my right. The guy almost hits me, as there isn't enough space. After a few metres of this, he cuts across the island and moves into the middle lane, and then bus lane.

As I think my crazy morning is over, a silver Nissan X Trail from GP screeches down the emergency lane and just manages not to hit a car in front of me.

That's it for me, CT is crazy. It's time to get a dash cam.

I'am sure this has been asked before but who can i contact to report bad driving even personal vechicles.Its alot easier if the vechicle belongs to a company but private vechicles ? I've got tons of footage of bad drivers.Just yesterday was behind a idiot who went through a red robot.Obviously had to stop at the robt and wait untill it went green.Anyway decided to put the after burners on and hunt down this idiot.Eventually caught up to him ,downshifted to 2nd gear , built up the revs and stomped on the gas pedal.Gave him a bit of scooby screamer pipe in his ear

Post on YouTube and share the links. Should be very entertaining.

Yesterday some bright spark decided that driving 100m to the circle was too far and instead made an illegal u-turn (I assume without checking mirrors properly) which ended up claiming a life. Same thing will eventually happen with all these dumb #$%& on their phones, running red lights etc... :/

Has anyone noticed that those little tuk-tuks driving around have started driving like taxis? Today had one going on the wrong side of the road to beat traffic

Did the person doing the illegal u-turn pass away or someone else?

Nice highway safety.
