I only know about one in the cape, and that's in Kuilsriver. My driving instructor hammered on that one so I wouldn't make the mistake in the test. :P
    They've gone on a circle orgy in some parts of PTA, you'd get real weird ones here.

    Every morning I drive Delmas road in Pretoria. And about 2 out of 5 times a week some cunt on a bike comes and overtakes me at 100kph (it's an 80 road). Now this oke has gotten so ballsy over the past couple of months that he does it even when oncoming traffic is too close for comfort.

    So about 3 weeks ago this happens again, I had to slam brakes or else he would have been into me(there was a truck about 10 meters away from him when he swerved back into traffic) or head on dead.

    Next time I'm not going to brake and give way but freak out and "accidentally" swerve into him.

    To what end? both fucked, idiots from road removed?

    What if someone just do what you intent do and end up killing someone you know?

    :edit
    Both your attitude and the biker's are equally wrong and dangerous. I would rather have both your licences revoked.

    Have you ever went from 80 > 30 when there are people sitting on your ass? Guess not. I spent a week in ICU last year for shit like that when a kid ran over the highway. Not going through that again.

    And I don't know anyone that drives at 100km an hour in an oncoming lane in traffic.

    Maybe a second NDE would fix your attitude,
    I've gone through two NDEs on the road and certainly don't want a third or another related. Yes when I had a driving attitude problem like most of you, I did have that habit of braking hard when someone was on my ass and one time I had my other foot on the break which went from fast to dead, I'm quite surprised I and the taxed lived out that one. No amount of road rage or anger is worth it, it just endangers lives, period.

    Heh, I have a NDE every time I get onto the highway. It just seems as if no one cares about anything once they get behind the wheel.

    My first car crash was my fault and an expensive lesson I learned on how to be a better driver.


    Just some Taxi Humour (look at the sticker in the back left corner)



    (it's more of a vent than a decision)

    And main problem is here in RSA we don't really get the law enforced across the board with zero tolerance. Yes it's mostly just that as you put it. For example getting killed by a truck jumping a red is very real here...

    Almost hit a lady (in a BMW by the way :| ) while entering a roundabout. I was on the right(inside) lane going straight. She was on the left indicating going right... you don't go right in a roundabout from the left lane! Left lane goes straight!

    Good thing I noticed it and slowed down. Almost stopped dead trying to avoid it. And she didn't even notice a thing...

    Yeah, to be honest, asshole drivers in South Africa transcend vehicle type and vehicle make.

    Basically, people in this country just have no fucking clue how to drive safely/well.

    The only thing you can do is drive as well as you possibly can, and hope that you're not unfortunately enough to come across one of the unwashed masses who don't actually know how to drive, but believe they do...
    The difference between pizza and your opinion is that I asked for pizza.
