I drive like a pro when taking selfies

The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport has slammed the “irresponsible behaviour” of a Durban student whose selfies taken while driving went viral on Wednesday

Looking at the picture of the selfie it does not look like the N3, so are her other claims even correct? Was she even really driving and not stationary?

Real professional drivers buckle up.

I can't even see the road from the selfie depicted.



Sure, there are other images but she's dressed differently so one would assume they were taken at a different time?

no seatbelt either.

Not that we know for sure if she is actually driving

Students be students.

"Not that we know for sure if she is actually driving"

She claimed not, afterwards. I'm inclined to believe her.

Can't believe the s#!tstorm she brewed up though - I suppose it's a case of "making an example of" but the worst problem on the roads where I live is not cellphone use while driving, it's running red lights under the excuse "it was yellow and that means caution, I can go".

*THE* worst aspect of K53, by a huge margin. All the other stuff was supposed to make driving safer, but calling a yellow light "caution" and not "stop, unless unsafe" which it was before K53, undid all the extra safety margins that were introduced by K53. Let's have department of transport action on THAT.

“We should all take a firm stance to put a stop to this illegal, suicidal and utterly irresponsible road user behaviour, and urge that no one copies it,” Sukazi added.

When he says the same of Taxi's and emergency lane chance takers I'll maybe pay some attention... And something that's happened over the last few years where the far right lane is now the new slow lane (which has now caused many many more people to start overtaking on the left...)

EDIT: fwiw I don't agree with taking selfies on the road, stupid, irresponsible and dangerous (if driving at the time) - I just get miffed at double standards.
