Long Wheel Base Posted October 24, 2018 Share RIP. Strange that this is the first I hear of this. I live very close and usually something like that makes it onto all the local cpf etc whtsapp groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkitech Posted October 24, 2018 Share And some people are so quick to defend taxi's (like I'm quick to attack them) when you speak out about their reckless behaviour. I've lost an important role model who cycled to a reckless taxi driver.My condolences to any family and friends related to the victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurkerza Posted October 24, 2018 Share And last week we lost a great friend not even 1km from there, he was coming down Harris road from City Lodge, he was hit head on by someone overtaking another vehicle around 6am on the 13th of October, also no mention of that, I dont even have all the detail on that incident either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was obviously on our clubs FB page but that doesn't reach a lot of people. BUT just for info the incident happened on the 11th and the family agreed to switching the machines off on the 16th.
