Offence Description: |
On the 17 august 2018 at 14h13 i was heading towards
greytown, on the main road towards alberts falls i
needed to pull over. so i pulled over to the left which is
at the intersection where you can turn right to wartburg,
my partner climbed out the car to get a bottled water
from the back and once back in the vehicle, we checked
the road and more than 800 meter on the rise we could
see a truck, thus giving me more than enough time to
enter the road and continue travelling. while driving at
least 200 meters i could see in my mirror that this truck
was approaching me at one hang of a speed. i still said
to my partner this guy is approaching very fast i hope he
slows down, at this time we were driving in an 80 km
zone within seconds we heard the truck horn blowing
madly and i had no choice but to swerve onto the left
side of the road which was bush and gravel. the truck
driver was going so fast he could not slow down and
had to swerve over to the on coming traffic lane.
i then decided to tailgate him to show you the speed this
man was driving on a 80km zone. please see truck and
registration and what my speed was at one point while i
was tailgating him. he was driving between 110 and 120
km/h on a 80 km road. i have never in my life been so
scared. this has emotionally affected me as a friend was
killed recently by two trucks. .
