A law onto themselves




Yellow line anyone. Anyone. Going going gone.
This happens almost everyday on the highway between work and home in the afternoon traffic. Law-abiding citizens sit back, turn up the music and patiently idle all the way home. Taxi's do not.

Highwayman Law Nr. 4 4895 2344 8994 00 Sub Article 2.34567937 - States: Any vehicle of a mini-bus catagory transporting ten or more people(as if you'll ever find less in a taxi), does not have to abide by the rule of law as it pertains to any other vehicle on South African highways, byways or suburban roads. Any vehicle in a favourable postion to follow such a vehicle at a reasonable distance, or not, may fall into this catagory as well.

It might as well be law. Taxi's don't wait for the Traffic light to change to green. Taxi's don't stop at red lights or Stop signs. Whether there be other vehicles or not. They travel left of the yellow line when it suits them, and they exceed the speed limit at will. The scariest part? The cops do fuckall about it. Because they're shit scared.

We're asked to vote, be law abiding citizens and tolerate our fellow road users. Fuck them, and their Governmental hypocritical oath. Bunch of swine. Lynch the lot I say. If Anarchy get's you home earlier, then I say go for it. No more Mr. Nice Fuckin Guy.

Toot, toot!

Gotta love the older ones where you blow your horn, and they wave at you? And then if they pass you, check again to see if they recognise you.
