Bad Driving thread

Kia Picanto with GP plates, on the N12 heading to Edenvale I think this idiot was trying to show me that his little car can perform. I overtook this him but I don't think he took it well, as I try to switch lanes out of the fast lane I see him speeding up to block me, so I let him do his thing, overtake me then I switch lanes.
Now I'm driving behind him, he slows down driving at 70, so I switch to the left lane trying to overtake him, he also switches lanes driving in front of me. I drive a fast car but I drive it like an old man, so I slow down to let him go...

Now he's about 100 meters in front of me, I decide to floor. This guy almost sh@t his pant, I saw the car jump a bit as he tried to downshift without rev matching to drive faster but I was right on his arse, eventually he gave up. Only Zuma knows what he was trying to prove.

Sorry about the link, still on heavy meds. Broke 5 ribs.
He came over from the right hand lane, crossed all the lanes, hit the barrier and ricochet into us.
Insurance is busy with a 3rd party claim against him, including my excess payment, damaged and lost property, etc.

I hope you make a full recovery in time, seriously hectic and shocking.
 
I'm a bit bummed I didn't have my dashcam with me (it died a short while ago)

To all those who drive very prominently branded company vehicles, you should drive with a bit of care as well as attention to the road rules unlike the Vumatel driver in vehicle NUR29754.

Knobjockey thought it was perfectly acceptable to just cross into my lane without even indicating (where there wasn't enough space) around the KwaMashu interchange and just keep going even after I hooted at the twit... his response after the fact was to just say sorry with his hazards..

Pity for him the vehicle was so prominently branded so an official complaint will be winging its way to Vumatel very shortly.

We used to do it all the time, when we still drove on the highway.

Never had a gun pulled on us, though.

Edit: Probably because our cars always look like we give absolutely no ****s.

Get this all the time except in your case it was picanto .In my case it always seems to be a peasant driving a gti or some silly hot hatch.

Don't you love it when somebody cuts you off and push into the Q in front of you?

Then a while later you switch lanes, overtake said person, only to merge into the Q a bit ahead :cool: :D

I used to be that guy - would never do anything illegal but would drive like a d!ck sometimes.
Long since realised it gained me nothing but frustration, and at best maybe a 2 minute saving. Too often I'd constantly change lanes, only to find the car I "overtook" pull up next to me at the robots.
Car magazine did a test where they had 3 vehicles all drive the same route in peak traffic with 3 different styles - one would pick the left lane and stick to it, the other the right lane, and one would change between lanes depending on which they thought was moving the fastest. For the life of me can't remember the outcome but reckon at best there was seconds between them.

Problem is that most people think that they’re much better at choosing lanes than they really are.
