let see if any cyclist protest outside the court...

 

that fella is lucky he went between the vehicles and wasnt hit by the bakkie or ridden over by the taxi...his bike took quite a beating.

 

the taxi driver pays a fine for not having a license and a fine for vehicle not being road worthy...and nothing changes..

 

cyclists get killed by drunk drivers...and hit by drunk drivers...even police vehicles get rammed by drunk drivers while attending to accidents and nothing gets done about it...a taxi driver with no license and an unroadworthy vehicle...i doubt much is gona happen...read this article.

Apparently the driver didn't have a licence and the car wasn't road worthy or licenced to. Lets hope stricter action is taken against these bastards and not just a slap on the wrist.  :angry:

 

Saw the post this morning that the guy does not even work for the company that is on his "ID" paper.

 

He should have been locked up for about 5 offences at least.

My commitment is not to comment on which I think it is.

 

Other than to say it happened on Wednesday and a press release was issued on Friday. Despite being all over social media on Wednesday.  Which again is factual.

Justice would be a few years in jail for attempted manslaughter, or should this be attempted murder? This was not just an accident.

What court? All the documentation was fake. The driver is gone. Never existed. From what I read.
