Bad Driving thread

People in the estate drive horrible. Even with a speed limit of 40km/h there are still chops that drive in a way that makes you feel unsafe.

I actually find it a bit amusing, whenever I am on the bike and coming out of the estate, I always stop at the circle if their is someone coming from the right (like you were). They always slow down and look at me in a confusing way like I was supposed to jump the circle because that is what us bad boy bicycle riders do.

at least they wait - mini circle in my hood and okes think they have right off way (clearly don't know the diff between circle and mini circle)

You probably seen many but didn't notice

Technically mini circle is Misnomer (although that's the name)
it's not necessarily smaller then a normal circle can be full size :)

If you see this sign before the circle its a mini circle - must be upside down triangle

Full circle or roundabout - yield to traffic approaching from the right

Mini circle - This works in much the same way as a four way stop (four way yield). so you do not yield to traffic approaching from the right unless they were at the entrance to the circle before you

Ahh, easy enough. Thanks.
 
Recent observations regarding faulty brake or tail lights - which seems to be increasing daily - here are a number of cars I have spotted over the last two weeks or so, with at least one (or more) of them not working (highlighted with yellow arrows):

I mean you could tell them to check their brake lights.
 
Most of them are ahead of me in traffic - so unless I have a PA system fitted, it could be a problem! I did however manage to stop next to a Ford Everest at the traffic lights this morning, that had its rear fog-lights on - and informed the driver about them being on - he then promptly turned them off and proceeded further on his way, no longer dazzling motorists behind him!

As I pulled up next to him - the fog-lights were ON

When he pulled away from the traffic lights, the rear fog-lights were now OFF.

So if it IS at all possible, I do try and inform the drivers that they either have faulty tail / brake lights - or, as in this case - that their rear fog-lights are ON.

Looks exactly like a rebranded one i got from Wish - I paid less then a 100 bucks for it with shipping
definitely not 1080 wouldn't even say 720 maybe a little over 480- number plates legible only if pretty close and video quality is even more crap at night. Records in AVI so have to convert to mp4 and phone picks up memory card file format as an issue and if you format with phone cam can't override old videos so have to take memory card
- microphone is worthless might as well turn it off - that's not to say it's all bad can sometimes get some good evidence.

- what can i say it's cheap - you get what you pay for

Usually taxis have a capacity of 16 seated persons.

Anything above 16 - R2000 per extra head fine, taxi get impounded immediately. Fine need to be paid within x amount of days, otherwise taxi plus driver plus owner get thrown into the Great Pit of Carkoon.


*sigh* one can only dream...

a cheapie is great for backseat driving - it'll watch your rear from bumper snoggers.
