Laws Of The Road

[DaveM]

We have a problem our side with Taxi drivers who for the most part just disregard all the laws of the road. Going through a red traffic light is just part of the day, stop streets what are those. Then we have them riding on the wrong side of the road of using the emergency lane as they want.

Well this biker was going to have none of that on his watch

WARNING - Bad Language.

I think some of y'all's drivers are relatives of some of the driver's around here.

 

[Rocky]

We have our share of bad/poor drivers here too, but overall it's not that bad.

 

[DaveM]

What I hate is when on the bike you need to expect these guys to drive straight over you, so it becomes extremely dangerous.

Looks like where i live, no one gives signals around here, or maybe no one has them.

They must be low on blinker fluid

[SarahP]

Unbelievable -- the sense of entitlement some people have. Were there no cops around? Will they respond to a traffic call like that?

A new development on this story.

[Rocky]

What language was being spoken?

 

[DaveM]

Rocky it sounds like Zulu and being up that side you would also have more Zulu speaking people. Now in my Provence it is mostly Xhosa . I still regret that I never learned one of our black languages but they can be tricky to pickup once you older.

 

[Rocky]

A second language can be hard to hold onto unless you use it quite often and keep it fresh.

 

[DaveM]

Well we were all supposed to speak two languages and they were taught in school, these being English and Afrikaans. I can understand Afrikaans but don't speak it that well. Also depending on what area you lived was it more an English community or Afrikaans and ours was mostly English.

 

[Rocky]

We were taught French in school, but I only remember a smattering of it now. No opportunity to ever use it and never think about it.
