Offence Description: |
Date of violation: 16 january 2023
time of violation: 07h20am
place: andre zondo road - heading south
details: i was travelling south bound on andrew zondo
road that runs past kingsway hospital and approached a
set of red traffic lights, while stopped a white toyota pick
up registered to ethkweni municipality (nd 9243) drove
straight through the red traffic lights at the andre zondo
and moss kolinik drive intersection with no indication of
slowing down at all.
the lights turned green for me and i proceeded south on
andrew zondo road, i then observed the same pick up
going through a second red traffic light while turning
right into umdoni drive.
i followed the vehicle to the municipal depot opposite
kingsway hospital and confronted the driver, and asked
him why he had gone through two red traffic lights, his
response was "sorry".
i then asked security at the gates of the depot to talk to
a manager and they could not give me a name or a
number, same with the rest of the staff that were coming
through the gates.
looking at the statistics of road accidents and deaths in
our country, and considering that the last set of lights
connects two major schools in our area i am willing to
take this as far as necessary, its not acceptable for
anyone to drive in such a dangerous manor, and ndm
should really be setting an example, not endagering my
life, and fellow road users further. |
