Bad Driving thread

How could you not be aware that you are reversing instead of going forward?

That's the crazy thing, I don't know if he was absent minded or what. It's bad because in such traffic conditions you have nowhere to go to evade such.
 
Saw the craziest thing on the road early this morning around 1:30am, Alfa romeo Stelvio (Could be the quadrifoglio I think) and a Polo 1.6, don't know what had happened but they appeared to be racing, erratically splitting lanes, polo 1.6 trying to keep up with the Alfa, basically reckless driving.
Spotted them on the N1 before Rivonia, then I found them on William Nicol arguing. They sped off, stopped again at William Nicol and Leslie and sped off when the robot turned green. Shocked that a 1.6 driver thinks he could keep up with a 300+hp car.

Edit: that Alfa is fokken quick man and sounds amazing on the upshift!
 
Thursday evening had a rich witch try and do a 3rd exit from the circle while being on the left lane.

Incase people don’t remember.. left lane is for 1st two exits where the main route is entrance & exit 2. Where main intersection for two roads, there are more rules and signs to force exit at each exit (for left lane, typically via island or painted one).

So yah.. there I was minding my own business when, while exiting at exit 2 I catch a car nearly hitting passenger back door (I was ahead of her in circle). Yah I nearly lost it.. next day I left her a nice picture of vehicle & how to on circles for security to give her. Logging a case with JMPD who like stupid rich people.. I wonder how much money they make from me. I should get like a few free passes.

why u surprised , your typical polo , vw boy racer mentality.These days i totally ignore all vw boy racers cause there cars are crap and not worth my time and energy.Unforunately the Alfa took the bait and lowered himself to the level of the polo.

Too early for flying taxis then? (5th element flying taxi FTW)
 
Many years ago I was driving on the M1 double decker section going towards Selby and the was a bakkie parked on the side without a wheel, with the driver and a traffic cop looking over the side of the railing.
Even to this day I shudder thinking about where that wheel went and if you were on the street way below what it would do to you.

But that car is even more scary!

A loose wheel got a high amount of kinetic energy even though it looks so small...

Looking at the glass half full, it could’ve ended much worse taking into account the force of the impact would’ve caused some serious injuries to a dealership employee.

Thankfully, no one was around or inside the 650S when the tire smashed into the window and hit the car belonging to the 28-year-old baseball player.

According to The New York Post, the McLaren estimated to be worth around $300,000, was insured.

When I was visiting the USA (Orlando) I noticed the traffic lights there were set to stay on much longer for each direction, as in maybe 5 minutes. But it works, they are all synchronised, and traffic actually flows because the lights don't keep changing.

I was also in Orlando a few weeks back and you know what else I noticed about their traffic lights? They're all working :ROFL:

That and people tend to follow the rule of law, peak traffic you would even see traffic police assisting with traffic flow when it gets too hectic and even a couple of sheriffs out and about at pedestrian crossings.

This fool realizes at the last moment he is in the wrong lane and just casually moves over almost into me, was luckily driving very slowly.

Similar experience this morning, in Jhb CBD, where a white Audi A4 changed lanes 1m from my car and casually ignored my flashing lights
