Recommended Posts

Over taking 3 vehicles at once (including tanker)

On a solid white line

And no license plate.

 

Awesome stuff

That doesn't look very dangerous to me. In a few metres time the line becomes broken to allow the overtake.

 

 

 

I'm guessing you used your phone to take the pic?

To his defence (grudgingly) you can see the the solid line stops just ahead of the golf... But he is still overtaking on a solid line...

Isnt it also illegal for the tanker to be inside the yellow line?

ya, I took it while talking my my cell phone. Clap

I ended the call with the pic but I phoned my mom back though. Embarrassed

 

LOL

 

 

 

Whatever.

Pic is from a friend of mine. His wife took it while he was driving.

I have driven that road a few times - Cape Town to clanwilliam and once you go over that pass the road is super dangerous to overtake.

 

But I am not sure at which point the pic was taken.

 

But fact is still a fact that he is breaking 3 laws that we can see directly in the photo. And he was also probably speeding to overtake as well.

 

4 offences then in one photo Clap

If it was a regular digital camera then it's time for an upgrade as the colours are pretty flat and lifeless.

 

 

 

The point I was possibly making is that this is very much the Seffrican way. We speed, we disobey road signs when it suits us, we don't wear seatbelts and we bend the rules in a bazillion different ways.

 

 

 

And then we quickly mount the high horses and foam at the mouth in moral outrage because "did you see what that guy just did...how dare he!"

 

 

 

Woofie, if you really want to do something worthwhile with this pic, take it to the police station in the area with details of place, date and time. Posting it on the hub will give you a nice warm fuzzy feeling inside but that is all. See my previous para.

Its not my intention to get a nice and warm fuzzy feeling inside from posting this.

I get the fuzzy feeling from thinking about nice braai vleis Clap

 

Reason for the post?

To get some action here on the hub of course. Clap

Its been pretty boring lately.

 

Cant point any fingers at the police.

They are just part of the offenders.

I will need to take the log out of my own eye first.......

...... and I am almost positive that goes for all of us.

All of us break the traffic law every day.

Speed, rolling through stops, darting to get through on the yellow/red, etc,etc.

Still no where as bad as the taxi's of course Confused

 

But james, looking at your avatar, maybe I should take you in for indecent public exposure? Clap LOL
