One of the more reckless driving acts witnessed by Shutterbug could have ended tragically. A despicable act by what can only be called a mindless driver.
The driver of a white Ford Bantam bakkie (with no front registration plate) was driving along Glastonbury Road with two passengers on the back of the bakkie. The driver then swayed from side to side, as the passengers held on for dear life.
There are so many tragic accidents on our roads these days – why would someone act like a hooligan? Drivers like that need to be taken off our roads before they cause harm to innocent people.
“The ongoing fatal crashes across the province will not stop until irresponsible drivers are strictly punished,” is what Gauteng Roads and Transport MEC, Ismail Vadi said in a recent statement, and Shutterbug could not agree more.
While the above incident may seem a senseless act, it is no more senseless than talking/texting on the phone while driving.
Studies have shown that drivers talking on cellphones are four times more likely to be involved in a crash compared to drivers who are not.
Drivers still ignoring the cellphone law, talking on the phone while driving are ND 227-178, spotted in African Street during peak hour traffic at 5pm one afternoon this week. As well as DBN 706 EC – not only talking on the phone while driving, but also not interested in stopping at the Templeton/Winsford Road intersection.
Remember to report bad driving to the toll-free number 0861 400 800.
