Not being familiar with that part of the world, I just looked at the N4 on Google Earth.

It looks straight and uncomplicated. I understand this was possibly a stolen car - in which case all sense goes out the window - but is it generally a dangerous road?

Very busy road, lots of trucks and mostly single lane. A lot of yellow line driving and there are quite a few small rises. I am afraid on that road in a car.

Sad as hell. I wonder if I would ever risk cycling on SA roads again after experiencing driver consideration in the Netherlands and Germany. I realize that this is a separate incident in that the car was presumed stolen, but the level of skill and corruption inside our (South African) traffic depo is whats keeping competent drivers off the roads.
