Traffic Cop Stop – The First Minute in the Life of Simpiwe

By

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.

We thought of naming him Sipho but then it was pointed out that Simpiwe would be more accurate as emblazoned on his Taxius Minbusius are the words Simpiwe Tours. Our intrepid ‘Steve Irwin of Port Elizabeth Roads’ can safely vouch for the fact that old Simpiwe definitely does give value for money as he tours our roads creating laughter and mayhem with his less than clever antics.

The first image below is of young (?) Simpiwe at the Corner of Heugh Road and 10th Avenue, Walmer as he realises that he should have turned right instead of going straight. Let us also not forget the fact that to get into this situation he must have gone against a red traffic light to begin with.

Please note that the GP car in front is an entirely innocent spectator who later paid good money for attending the show put on by Simpiwe.
