the worst December i have had on our roads

[herr bmw]

morning guys

so as the title states,i have witnessed,on average at least 1 accident every 2 to 3 days on the roads that i have traveled ,and that is mainly to work and back.

every year i work up to 21st/22nd December,and start back around the 2nd January,same this year,other years only seen 1 to 2 accidents in the holiday time,not this year.

it seems like all hell has broken loose the last 2 weeks on the n1/n3 and side roads that i travel,guys on motor bike,lying 100 meters away form the scene,e46 written off,trucks overturned,blood and bodies strewn across the highway,cars in ditches,and then the bumper bashing.:nonono::nonono:

guys please be alert out there,yesterday at around 06h30 on the way home from work,2nd lane from the right on a 4 lane highway,close to SA mint,going north,was a hardbody d/c standing with its bonnet open,no four way flashers on,no triangle,no body warning traffic,just abandoned,will the occupants stand on the side of the road with there buddies chatting:nonono::bangdesk:

this is one of the busiest roads in gauteng,and yes it was a saturday,but lots of people were going north to start there holidays,nearly saw 3 cars hit this bakkie.

so please guys,take it easy,be safe,take plenty of breaks on your journey,and enjoy your holidays:thumbs::thumbs:

cheers

Agreed! But we have some absolutely poor drivers on our roads. Their road going intellect is an outright shocker! Be safe guys, don't become a statistic :thumbs:

Too many unskilled drivers on our roads due to corrupt licensing departments.

Just drove between Woodmead and Midrand now on the N1 highway - within a few KM stretch, there were a total of 3 cars stopped/stuck in the extreme right shoulder of the road, all touching the right line. Also, the one guy had his passengers standing behind the car waving for traffic to move away. I really don't get the height of stupidity of some people :facepalm:

coming back from the harties run,nearly hit two cars standing in the 2nd lane from the right,busy towing and the rope broke,so were busy trying to re connect.

question is what were they doing towing in that lane?why not the slow lane?
