Social media users poke fun at a taxi that needs alignment
Usually, when a vehicle is leaning or pulling to one side, it means the wheel alignment is off. Still, these social media users suggested other reasons it pulled away from oncoming traffic.
In South Africa, spotting unroadworthy vehicles on the roads is, unfortunately, nothing new.
Taxis, in particular, have become notorious for their questionable road safety.
When you see a vehicle leaning or pulling to one side, it is usually associated with an off-wheel alignment. It doesn't look right, and it doesn't seem safe to travel in a vehicle that looks like it isn't aligned.
But in this case, it wasn’t the taxi’s technical faults that grabbed attention – it was the internet’s reaction.
Social media users were quick to poke fun at the video, taking a lighthearted approach with a stream of hilarious comparisons and comments.

"The pain of it coming to u and u don't know which side u should run."
"Me every time when I'm at Shoprite."
"It looks like it’s shy to be on the road."
"You have to turn left to go right."
"So is the driver sitting ka angle as well?"
"Bro is going everywhere."
"They will arrive diagonally."
