This week on Traffic Cop Stop we are bringing you a series of images (one a day, dummy) of the almost comic antics of one Taxius Minubusius driver whom we shall call, Simpiwe.
See all the images of Simpiwe Tours as he grapples with the mechanics of spatial orientation on our busy roads.
The fifth and final image below is of Simpiwe at the Corner of Heugh Road and 7th Avenue, Walmer and Lo and BEHOLD young Simpiwe has ONCE AGAIN realised that he actually did not want to turn into 7th Avenue at all so is ONCE AGAIN reversing out and making all the traffic wait for his LORDSHIP SIMPIWE.
What an asset young Simpiwe must be to the taxi driver gene pool!

What makes you think he was reversing? The light that are on, are the hazards flashing, the reverse lights are just underneath the indicator lights. 🙂
