We applaud ur courage to expose lawlessness in our country!!!I suppose many politicians and government workers r investors and partners in these taxi industries.
This is what we deal with on a daily basis. They don't even have any regard for their passengers safety, so why would they care about other road users. And you ask yourself where the law enforcement officials are. They should be deployed ESPECIALLY during peak hours, to stop these taxis, but they are happy to stop normal law abiding citizens for no reason
@@cork9884 Lol Rofl I've had two of those, the @#%& head cut from fast lane N2 south to off ramp N3, I rolled down passenger window shot passed a lane of traffic and landed in his lap. Unbelievable, like I willed it or something. >
sbusiso ngobese people hate but they will be crying when their workers and gardeners don’t show up because they have no transport. Taxis contribute massively to our country, it’s just they take their job a bit too seriously sometimes.
This is really upsetting, especially because they are not only endangering the lives of other motorists, but the passengers in those very same taxis. And they get away with murder because they always have R20 with them to bribe the officers along the road. Our Justice system has failed us big time.
Once there was real bad traffic on my way to college. There are two of my friends who also take the same highway as I do, but one of them goes via taxi. Me and the other one with the car were late except her. She explained to me that she too was afraid of being late, but since she goes with a taxi, I should understand *why* she wasn't late considering how they drive.
The SA government should take full responsibility. They have allowed the situation to develop into what it is now by having no policing. Populations require laws and boundaries and transgression of the laws requires consequences. Unfortunately there are no consequences and so the situation has developed.
What I know is if there is heavy traffic on ghe road and less/no traffic officers, most taxis drivers knows how to avoid the traffic and get you ahead of most of those who are caught up on it
Heinrich Karsten rather rock up late than not at all. Learn to deal with poorly driven taxis and see the fact that they get 50% of SAs workforce where they need to be every day. Our governments attempts at public transport have, for the most part, failed. The guy that stops in the left lane and blocks your way isn’t gonna kill you, he’s trying to squeeze an extra 50 bucks in for his boss so he can feed his family.
I agree with you. You're safer at night to treat a red traffic light as a 4 way STOP street then to actually sit waiting IF THERE ARE NO CARS. You'll get hijacked
Our brave Western Cape Traffic Department will Pull over vehicles with big problems.....like reverse lights that only work when in reverse.....but don't see the wrong in the Taxi's drive.....Taxi's should be banned all together,.....there are enough provincial buses with responsible drivers to do the job saver.....
Police?? Police??? Oh yeah it's Western Cape... Here in KZN we have fat slobs who NEVER patrol the roads. When there is loadshedding at peak hour traffic where are they? Probably at some greasy spoon.
And there it is...!!!!!.... . The race card is played....!!!!!.....This nothing at all to do with the colour of anyones skin.... Its got to do with the mantality of these drivers.... Most of them dont belong on any roads..... They have no respect for anyone on the roads..... They are a danger to everyone..... And should be dealt with..... They need to bring back government public transport..... Point....!!!!!
We should slash their tires. In December it gets worse, roads are crazy then when the bastards go back to natal and limpopo. And its clear that its a banana republic system, let a private car owner try out that tipe of driving?! Big fines and maybe even lockup
I remember after I got my driver's license in 2007, an old white colleague of mine told me that to survive on the road in SA, you must treat taxi drivers like emergency vehicles. Best advice ever.
In South Africa when you do your license they teach you if you put your hazards on you can stop wherever you like and also red means go and green means go faster . Then also emergency lanes are there to overtake .
I wish there was a system to report these minibus offences..... I also wish that if there was a system like this, the officials in charge would be competent enough to enforce it- nevermind I'll just move to Lisbon, Portugal with my Computer Science degree :).
Same to kenya matatu(publi means)drivers they do the same.reason they do that both SA nd Kenya public means drivers they rush for trips nd meant surtain cash targets for the owner of the taxi,matatu.

This is the perfect example of selfish driving. By pushing in you cause an even larger backlog, thus decreasing efficiency of the transportation system. This decrease in efficiency costs the country an unimaginable amount of money due to people arriving late for work, added stress that debilitates your concentration and efficiency at the workplace as well as built up rage that leads to bad decision-making. The same can be said for people driving 60km/h in a 120km/h zone.
@@jurieccilliers But it is legal unless there is a blue background on a sign that states the minimum you are allowed to drive. 100% legal. I can drive 40km/h on the highway if I want to. Not that I would unless I notice a problem on the car, to slow down and get off of the road. But legal nevertheless.
I have a phone mount that I use with an app on either an iPhone or android phone. To be honest the android ones do tend to work a little better than the iOS apps. But if you can get a dashcam that can dismount that would work even better
I get late to work every morning due to traffic. I wonder if I will be on time if I take a taxi because it seems like they never stand in traffic. It is pathetic that this goes on without notice. I did it once when my mother got sick and I was in huge trouble because I drove on the emergency lane to pass traffic. Traffic officer followed me to the hospital and he seen the emergency and yet he still issued a fine.
Hey a taxi driver pointed me with a gun on the n2 near Cape International Airport once. That was because would not let him pass me in the emergency lane with his taxi's. So when he eventually pass me, he pointed the gun at me. I nearly froze. PAARL
The traffic officers only go for soft targets on BS offences. One of them fined me R2500 as he claimed i crossed a solid line which was not the case i had actually waited till i was passed the line he was standing about 800 m away on top of a hill . On boxing day I could not argue otherwise he would lock me up probably till after new year and it being 400km from my home town to contest it in court would have cost me way more then the fine on fuel accomodations days ogf work off etc . And that bastard knew that
Everyday thing on my way to Parklands each day and nothing is being done. Is this how our New South Africans should drive. If so, please let me know as I would love this new driving style!!!

Back in the uk and miss south Africa. But those taxis I do not miss. It's time the police really clamped down on these drivers. Here in the uk I hear that all new cars will eventually be fitted with dash cam as standard. Think that is a good idea, not just the driving incidents but can also be used as evidence for other off road crimes.
The police fear the taxi drivers, as sad as that is! That is how much power and influence the taxi industry has in this country. It just pisses me off. This is a good explanation of the situation: ruclips.net/video/3zjXtsRrmFE/видео.htmlsi=sOTQl7rqxOzPLjAC It's just sad
I myself personally do not see the reason to wait at a red traffic light when there are zero vehicles approaching the intersection? Does the red traffic light take away your ability to think and use your eyes and ears?
Being a motorcyclist it is so upsetting having to deal with this recklessness. Taxis have no care about other motorists or their passengers and they get away with it. And also they attack uber drivers for doing a better job than them - Uber is safer, less hassle, and no time wasted on corners and circling looking for passengers. Taxis suck and the traffic department too for not enforcing the rules of the road on these thugs. And how they fight with each other over passengers is the worst!! Pulling the potential customer or "helping" with their bags to make sure the person gets in that taxi. Something needs to be done. Police are never there when you need them so they might as well ensure fair use of our roads. #padvarke(road-pigs)

Here in South Africa, there is no one to report these drivers too, reporting them to the police or traffic department even with evidence is just a waist of ones time. Nothing gets done about it.

Mr grobler yes that is how they drive on a daily basis n they don't care about other drivers or the terrified passengers they carry. I wonder how this can b resolved
It's all the same all over Africa.. SA.. Swaziland.. Mozambique.. Kenya.. Zim.. Zambia... in my opinion there are just too many of this smaller mini-bus taxis... the government should stop issuing licenses... also the minimum age for public transport operator should be at least 40 years
Incorrect, that is what they call a secure zone. You are allowed to cross that line as long as you do not enter other lanes parallel to it. And the driver probably needed to go straight and not turn, and he was in the stopping part of the turning lane, that is also why he was allowed to enter the zone. The taxi, in another case, broke the law by crossing the solid line to go into another lane, which is both illegal and could've likely caused an accident. In conclusion, the taxi was the one that broke the law, not the motorist.
In answer to your question, what's being done about it, at least I see the traffic department clamping down heavily on these morons. The roadblocks even have trucks to cart them away as many of them have multiple warrants of arrest to their names and fines in the tens of thousands
It is always a pleasure hearing from someone that something is being done about it and that they see some positive change. Unfortunately I don't see that change yet. But I am sure that it will start taking course at certain areas and locations. Thanks or the feedback

Thank you, thank you. hahaha. Hey not everyone is perfect right? lmao. I am sure I also broke a few laws here, but at least I'm not hiding it.
Mr grobler yes that is how they drive on a daily basis n they don't care about other drivers or the terrified passengers they carry. I wonder how this can b resolved

I agree oh my word they get away this everything
In Hillcrest taxis always cause crashes
It's all the same all over Africa.. SA.. Swaziland.. Mozambique.. Kenya.. Zim.. Zambia... in my opinion there are just too many of this smaller mini-bus taxis... the government should stop issuing licenses... also the minimum age for public transport operator should be at least 40 years
0:13 the car driver crossed a solid line, car driver would have been at fault even if the taxi did cut in
Incorrect, that is what they call a secure zone. You are allowed to cross that line as long as you do not enter other lanes parallel to it. And the driver probably needed to go straight and not turn, and he was in the stopping part of the turning lane, that is also why he was allowed to enter the zone. The taxi, in another case, broke the law by crossing the solid line to go into another lane, which is both illegal and could've likely caused an accident. In conclusion, the taxi was the one that broke the law, not the motorist.
At 2:59 you can see a police car there but he ain't gonna do anything
You have the dash cam footage and their licence plate numbers...report them to the traffic department.
The cops will do absolutely nothing
In answer to your question, what's being done about it, at least I see the traffic department clamping down heavily on these morons. The roadblocks even have trucks to cart them away as many of them have multiple warrants of arrest to their names and fines in the tens of thousands
It is always a pleasure hearing from someone that something is being done about it and that they see some positive change. Unfortunately I don't see that change yet. But I am sure that it will start taking course at certain areas and locations.
Thanks or the feedback
Go to Bali Indonesia and see how they drive there..
Been there and South Africa Is still much worse because they use weapons and intimidation even Thailand is better the traffic is a mess but its organised there.
LoL always trafic jam.
Not just about law enforcement but the taxi drivers have zero respect for anyone else on the road.
