Shocking video shows motorist driving in oncoming lane
This is why multitasking while driving is not recommended.
Seeing a taxi driver illegally overtake or drive into oncoming traffic is nothing new, especially if you live in South Africa.
However, this doesn't mean they are the only lawless drivers on the road. We bet more than one person has questioned a driver's ethics and skill before.
The common phrase heard is, "We bet that driver paid to get his licence," insinuating that the driver bribed someone to get his licence.
This time, the saying is, "Seems like you can get your licence out of a lucky pack these days."
A content creator said this after driving on the streets of Cape Town and finding a driver casually stopping at the traffic lights in the oncoming lane.
