slowpoke Posted November 1, 2012 Share I am definitely packing my action camera when I head down to CT later this month. Even though I'm only really going to be driving around 1 day (Constantia to Tygervalley to Rondebosch to Constantia) the resultant footage will most likely prove the menace that GA buses are. I know they are a menace as I have lived in CT previously (for 2 years) and I go down frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoLefty!! Posted November 1, 2012 Share I hope someone can help the family. A link to the story: http://www.iol.co.za...urial-1.1415660 I think PPA, GA bus services and the CIty could take this up a matter of principal. Sure they don't want every MVA victim to come knocking but this guy died during Non Motorised transport Month doing what most of us shold be doing, riding his bike to work.He died at the hands of an organisation whose employees commit every moving violation its possible to commit in a bus. Mr Carlisle should show some leadership in this matter since he is rather slow in making the roads safer through legislation and policing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabe Posted November 1, 2012 Share GA first want to find the Driver liable! BS!!As an act of goodwill / generosity, they should contribute something to the funeral. Afterall, it is their Bus / Driver who directly caused the cyclist's death, immaterial of the circumstances surrounding it.
