Wannabe Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Taxi drivers there scares the hell out of me, especialy the ones coming down Brackenfell Boulevard and turning right onto Klipheuwel rd. They come barreling down the road, rush over the intersection (skipping the red traffic light as they do so), just to slam on brakes and stop halfway in the roadway to pick up anothe customer. Coming from Klipheuwel direction they just turn left in B/b-vard, no worries about the cyclists that might be in the intersection already. It is mostly the ones using the Toyota Ventures as Taxis that behaves like this. Hope the cyclist is OK. (Lots of workers that commutes into town that uses that road in the mornings and afternoons)

Maybe I should buy a few and give them out every morning when I ride..........
