Today’s Traffic Hooligan is FCP534EC

By

This vehicle, registration number: FCP534EC, was spotted in Edward Street, Richmond Hill on 14/08/2013 at around 10:00 am. This driver should pay a visit to SpecSavers for an eye test. Parking on a yellow line, blocking a garage 2m away without noticing the problem, proves the severity of the vision problem - this is happening regularly - therefore the legality of the driver's license may also be at issue.

By

This vehicle, registration number: DNN 827 EC, was spotted in 6th Avenue Walmer Shopping Centre Parking on 25/02/2013 at around 03:00 pm. This image was sent to me by a citizen who would prefer to remain anonymous. She says that she couldn't spot a disabled sticker anywhere on this vehicle.

Friday Rant – Has PE got the world’s best drivers?

By

Port Elizabeth - or the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro as the authorities like to call it - must have the best drivers in the world. The Metro's Traffic and Licensing department reports in the Special Council Agenda of 24 January 2013 that it has not met its traffic fine targets because; "As the broad majority of road users complied with road rules, fewer traffic fines were issued." The target was 10 fines per officer per day for the quarter ending 31 December 2012, but officers issued only six … [Read more...] about Friday Rant – Has PE got the world’s best drivers?

By

This Traffic Hero, was spotted in the Woolworths Greenacres parking area on 20/01/2013 at around 01:10 pm. Shopping centres in Port Elizabeth should take a leaf out of Woolworths Greenacres book.
