Guessing games on Zululand roads

THERE was a standing joke back in the day that if you drove badly, you must have bought your license from a spaza shop.

Well, it seems as though every Zululander lines up at the nearest spaza shop once they turn 18.

Apart from blatantly ignoring all road rules, one of the strangest sights is when drivers pull up at a four-way stop and all just look at each other – until one daring soul decides to roll forward – and then everyone else follows suit causing unnecessary congestion.

Heaven forbid you drive up to a yield sign. Do not be surprised to find five or six cars parked off in neutral.

Oh, and the endless traffic circles!

I have yet to reach one and find everyone with their indicators on. I love how it becomes a guessing game as to which direction your fellow driver will take.

Truck drivers with the ‘Report my driving’ stickers on the back are being discriminated against.

All Zululand drivers should be subjected to being reported to the Director of Spaza Shop License Distribution.

Warning: Keep a safe following distance, especially behind NHL registered vehicles.
