At present there is a big traffic problem on Circular Drive with bus and taxi drivers just cutting across the right hand lane, in the face of oncoming traffic, if they need to turn right further down the road.
My house mate has already been hit by a taxi going down the wrong side.
Just thought I would send in a picture and get this guy driving the Algoa Bus number B558 busted!
Photograph was taken on Circular Drive near Pollard Street and in the direction of van Eck, today at 7:23 am.

Right, so no problem then in making sure that this man at the helm of a rather large conveyance will be re-trained or sent to one of those special camps for redeployment?
As for the taxis Anon-i-Mouse we will have to wait and see if my order of RPG’s will land safely and undetected at the Safe House.

This is normal behaviour for busses and taxis on Circular Drive every morning. I myself was hit at high speed by a taxi doing exactly this and am still driving a damaged car. 2 mornings ago there was another near accident with a bus this time. Doubt anything will be done. Welcome to Africa…
The most useless creation on Gods’ earth (yes, even more useless than an ANC politician) is a Port Elizabeth traffic cop. Bad driving is caused by zero traffic law enforcement – and it is not just taxi and bus drivers. Take note of the majority of mon’s taxi’s etc. that pay no observance to the (common sense) rules of the road and drive through stop streets, red lights, overtake when it is dangerous to do so – all while talking incessantly on their $%&*ing cellphones. South Africa has become a nation of imbeciles – and I’m embarrassed to admit to being a South African!!!
Does Port Elizabeth have a traffic department???
I have yet to see a traffic cops and i have been in this town for almost 5 years!!!
I thought the nearest town that had traffic cops was Despatch!!!
