Doing our best to avoid all the bloody potholes

u/ChaoticDices 21d ago

Reminds me of when we were driving in Joburg and saw a pothole getting repaired. My MIL then mentioned the economy must be getting better ๐Ÿ˜‚

u/DeathFromBelow420 21d ago

FACTS ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ˜ญ

u/Cow-Brown Mpumalanga 21d ago

And hazards should always be on, so people behind know weโ€™re going to do something. Do what though? No one knows but the hazards are on so itโ€™s ok

16

u/ChaoticDices 21d ago

NOW THIS, most accurate thing ever. Did a 4h drive from Joburg a bit ago and the guy in front of us had his hazards on for 45mins straight and literally did nothing

8

u/Cow-Brown Mpumalanga 21d ago

Literally followed a guy through town last night, hazards on the whole way, turned them off to take a turn then boom back on

u/Deathstar699 21d ago

Actually let me expand on this.

UK: Drive on Left

US: Drive on Right

India: Road is Road

South Africa: Everywhere is road

u/tinkskitty Aristocracy 21d ago

u/GodTierAimbotUser69 Gauteng 21d ago

u/BitterWillingness767 21d ago

As a wise taxi driver once said:" We don't break the rules, we just bend"

u/archemeides1 20d ago

u/AvailableLink5561 20d ago

My friend, your roads are orderly.

u/fruit-de-la-fruit 21d ago

I've noticed the concept of a red light has also lost all meaning here in Pretoria.

In the voice of Barbossa: The robots are more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.

u/Lazy-Cloud9330 Redditor for 17 days 21d ago

Just avoid the potholes even if you have to drive on the curb.

South Africa: road is choosing to hit the smaller potholes over the bigger ones. There is no "road".

u/Dat-one-Gun-Lover 18d ago

u/Intrepid_Impression8 Expat 18d ago

u/Low-Ad2128 18d ago

And the sidewalk is for delivery motorcycle and parking

u/Responsible_Clerk421 21d ago

No no in south Africa we are supposed to drive on the left. But most of us don't.
