Bad Driving thread

Maybe not bad driving, but bad cycling. An arsehole lycran this morning in Stellenbosch (wearing all black, delayed for black monday) jump the traffic light turning left from the R44 onto the helshoogte road at one hell of a speed. Almost though he was going to run into me. Just after 6h30 this morning.

And then they wonder why people don't like lycrans.

What's a "lycran"?

Cyclists should not be allowed on roads. They are a danger to themselves and others.
 
So this guy...haha, where do I start.

-Big A4 sheet of paper stuck up on his windscreen directly in front of his vision
-Neither he nor his passenger were wearing their safety belts
-Tailgate missing with random stuff lying inside the load bin
-Right side brake light bulb dead
-Right side lamp cluster broken/cracked
-No numberplate

If the traffics were around they would have had a field day with him :crylaugh:

...then we have these two palookas in their Polo's. Heading down the M4 earlier this week about 1km from the offramp that leads to the N2. The queue is standing still - no movement and the cars are starting to pile up. If people like these two fine individuals would just fall in the back of the queue then the queue might actually move. What is happening is people are leaving the queue only to rejoin right before the offramp, squeezing in and causing havoc with the lane immediately to the right of the left hand side lane as they basically come to a complete standstill.

Now if they had only waited patiently like everyone else they would have caused less havoc and chaos and the queue might actually have moved a lot faster. Typical PE when it rains - everyone loses their bloody minds.

This gets to me, the queues would move much quicker if this wasn't happening.
There were instances and I timed it, my 12km commute to work was split almost 50/50 between the ~500m from the back of the queue to past the traffic lights on this bridge and the remaining ~11.5km to get to work.

Below is an extract of a mail I sent to Western Cape government, lets see if they respond:
"This morning at around 06h40 a Western Cape branded vehicle displayed disregard for traffic laws.
On the bridge of Vasco Boulevard, at the off ramp to the N1 I was at the traffic light first in line. The lane next to me is a straight only lane, and the Western Cape branded vehicle with number plate GCV 002 G was next to me.

When the traffic lights turned green, GCV 002 G, performed an illegal left turn."
 
Just had this old guy in a light blue E350 with personalized GP plates starting by Z who literally swerved into my lane (and into me) with no indicator.

I could see his lane warning was flashing red telling him to not change land, meaning he didn’t even watch his mirror.

After I hit the brakes and hoot, he acts as if nothing happened and proceeds to change twice lanes without indicator and cutting other cars in the next 500m.

What Gets me is that all these new cars haves much tech to make driving easier and safer, yet it never gets used...
 
Like people in their Audi's and Merc's and Porsche's that probably all have Bluetooth, yet the drivers have their phones glued to their ears whilst in traffic. Smh

This syphilic old **** in the BMW cut me off three times(!!) while he was weaving between lanes, not once using his indicator.

Well duh. BMW's don't come with indicators.

And the strange thing was, when traffic was moving slow he was moving from lane to lane to get ahead, after that intersection traffic started to flow and the POS cruised further. Now what exactly would the bloody point be in that?? You were in a hurry just now, and a few hundred meters later you drive slow in the right hand lane. Senseless.
