I love how the fan boys refuse to believe a good sportser would also do other stuff good all the time too.....

If he behaves like this in his car, it makes me wonder what he did/said/behaved with the rangers in 'the arm' incident.

Bakkies do weirds things to good people..... 

 

My old man just bought a Wildtrack, out the blue, I am seeing a therapist, its like my whole life was a lie!

He is just sour that he has tried for years to get my S-West KOMs from back in the day and just can't seem to do it

Before Timmy the Tit gets on his evidence high horse again, it looked just like him, but I no I did not stop him, ask him for his ID and take a picture/video of the whole exchange.

It actually doesnt even matter that much, if I wanted to shame him and I knew for a fact it was him, I would have tagged him and his teams etc on social media, I didn't do that for a reason. 

This was more posted because "we" as also drive like twats when we are the first to scream about cars and me about bakkies.

It was a genuine question that just needed a yes/no answer. No need to waste your time typing out a whole paragraph.

Did anyone actually see Nic driving this bakkie? 

All I see is "proud supporter of ND" 

It doesn't say "driven by ND" 

yes

Just "survived" a trip on the N1 ...

 

WOW !!!

 

Car drivers dont even respect other cars on the road ....

 

Coffee in the one hand, pinky barely resting on the steering wheel ... while texting with the other hand .... attention is everywhere except on the traffic .... just more of this behaviour along the residential route

 

 

Cyclist and pedestrians are no consideration to these types of drivers.

 

Please stay safe out there.

Forget skydiving, open water shark diving or telling a Karen to calm down, if you want to have a real thrilling near death experience, go for a cycle around Somerset West between 7:30 and 8:10 in the morning.... School run parents... yusssus 😳😳😳

when you see parents in school run queues you realise why the next generation of drivers are going to be even worse.

This is the same thing as the bikes being stolen, it is us cyclists buying cheap parts and 'good deals' that are causing bike theft in a lot of cases.

The most wake-up moment of my mornings are school drop off zones (2 of them) and taxis in yellow lanes in Tygervalley Road.

I grew up in Somerset West and cycled to school alone since grade 2. Now my kids are going to the same school, and I can't see myself letting them ride to school. It's like the wild west out there between cellphones, flat  whites and just plain not giving any F's. 

My dad says the mommies back then we're just as bad

See this so often on the roads, i wish cell phones would only work in a driven vehicle if they are on a hands free system.... surely the phone manufacturers could come up with a way to make it impossible for drivers to text while driving.

I was still with Volvo when they announced they would limit all their cars to 180km/h max speed. There are very few places in the world where you can legally do that speed or more on public roads, yet the backlash from people saying its their right to drive at that speed if they want was crazy.

I ride the boys to school, there are a handful of other kids that ride in. We pass other kids that are pulling out of their drive way and then pass them while they sit in ques. 

It boggles my mind that drivers have such a "must get in front mentatlity" that they will over take a 6 year old, just to jump on the brakes and sit, then have the audacity to complain when he rides past them and bumps their car by mistake because they have left no space.
