Traffic Cop Stop – The Fourth 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.

The fourth image below is of Simpiwe at the Corner of Heugh Road and 10th Avenue, Walmer after realising that he should have turned right instead of going straight, Simpiwe used his reverse light as a legitimate indication of his intent to fix this BIG problem, after reversing a bit he decided to test the turning circle claims by the Taxius Minibusius manufacturer – “BUGGER,” says Simpiwe “the salesman must have been lying when he said this Taxi has a one metre turning circle.” Undeterred our candidate for the Darwin Award reverses once again and drives off (notice that Simpiwe is still having spatial problems – look at the orientation of the front wheels). See you to-morrow for further Simpiwe antics!

Our intrepid GP spectator is, we presume, unable to drive any further as she is screaming with derisive laughter …..
