This reminds me of an event that happened years ago. My dad was driving on the R80 in Pretoria. He doesn't like speeding and was already driving at the max allowed speed. Then a Merc started tailgating him, but there wasn't a safe opportunity to switch lanes yet, so he just kept driving at speed.

There was an upcoming pothole in the road, so being annoyed by the tailgater he waited right until he was about to hit the pothole to swerve out. Due to the following distance being so little between the two cars, the Merc hit the pothole and pulled over to examine the damage. I remember my dad looking in the mirror and saying "Lekker, kry vir jou".

Did the same to a tailgater. Boeing Rd (on the way to R21 Corporate Park) was full of potholes.

So here I was. Tailgater on mah ass, sniffin' mah purdy exhaust fumes and pissing me off. So I start to drive in such a way that I miss most potholes, but the tailgater got every single one, pissing him off majorly. Eventually he overtaked me and roared off, never to be seen again.

Good riddance.

In the wrong lane, across a solid white line and to hell with everyone else, this is the South African Motoring Way...

Idiots who indicate only WHEN they try change lanes when they shouldn't be changing lanes at all...

Surprised that there haven't been more accidents as taxi's use the emergency lane then turning lane and cars wait at the yield line for traffic to open up...

@Neuk_ Cheers for all the vids

I think the amount of space you left here between you and the car in front of you might frustrate others as well.

Why?

Why?

Because the people behind you might not get through the traffic light. They have to wait for you to move. There's also a lot of room for for others to gap in and delay them further.

Agreed, that gap is a bit intense - especially in traffic. Gives ample of space for others to cut in and will definitely cause frustration.

While we are completely still at a red traffic light?

We were completely still at a red traffic light and the car in front moved because the car in front of them decided they wanted to turn. I still see no reason to close the gap or move until the traffic light goes green and traffic starts flowing.

Ahhh, gotta love those speshul snowflakes who expects you to MOVE at a red traffic light.

Not gonna happen, pal. Light must turn green first.

I hate when everyone has come to a stop, then the guy in front moves for some reason so you then have to do the same otherwise there is a massive gap, now everyone is rolling but the light is still red.

You have to do nothing, which is what I do as you can see in my video.

Seems like you didn't watch the video.

Its not exactly wrong but shoo its annoying - do people not hoot at you or cut in front of the gap you left?

Think about the cars in the back not sure about this intersection but looking at the turn lanes it might apply - imagine a few cars back traffic is piled up and one guy needs to turn right, and all he needs is just under 1/2 a car gap, to get to his turning lane but can't because the car in front is in that gap, he can't go forward because car in from and all that is because you sitting there chilling with 3 cars distance between you and the car in front?
