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.

You forgot to mention from 2:47 - 3:30 that they're doing that just to cut in in front (across 4 lanes) cause they need to make a right turn onto the N7 turn off 😂

Overseas they wont get away with it, they will receive citations and even can do time. 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. Even the traffic department has already told me unless there is a serious accident please don't call us again. The police might take a report and not bother further with it as there was no accident The lawlessness will just continue and they add to the road deaths Once in a while they get caught, then they go on a strike action because of outstanding fines

Metropolice started a WhatsApp interface to report and upload video evidence of traffic offences. I was reporting upwards of 20 a day from taxis alone, on a 10km drive to, and from work. I think the sheer overwhelming number killed any hope of the system actually working. The WhatsApp interface is now defunct.

Even Golden Arrows drivers, drives the same. If anything accident happens, the Golden arrows driver is always right

THESE DRIVERS SHOULD NOT BE FINED- CONFISCATE THEIR VEHICLES

Such a pity that a few ruin it for the rest beautiful country so much potential but sadly the ANC and there corrupt government killed SAA SAR etc. Sad sad 😔

Pure lawlessness and corruption. These guys get to do whatever tf they want and cops will just turn there heads. Meanwhile will set up roadblocks and take innocent working people cool-drink money all day. Shame on this government. The rules do not apply to everyone sadly smh

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

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.

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.

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.

Welcome to the Banana republic!

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.

Major accidents and loose of lives are always blamed on the road and not on the taxi drivers. Taxis turn a two lane double high way into 4 to 6 lanes.

Not just about law enforcement but the taxi drivers have zero respect for anyone else on the road.

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.

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 do not appreciate taxi drivers. Why? They don’t appreciate the rules of the road and the lives of others.

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)
