Wed 16 Jan 09:00am, I entered the R511 from a slip road and stopped on the merging lane with my indicator on indicating that I needed to merge with the traffic. I stopped between a car and a truck, the truck the vehicle which would need to give way to me as I had right of way. out of the corner of my eye, I see that the truck driver is slowly moving forward - this action widely known in SA as an indication that they don't intend to give you way. I didn't move forward until the car in front of us did... the truck driver pulled up so close to both of us, he nearly took my side mirror off and scraped my car!!! I then started moving the truck over closer to me forcing me off the road completely!!!
I've reached out to the metro police to find this truck and it's driver! Truck drivers can't be behaving on the roads like this! they have no regard for the rules of the road and very often drive so close to other vehicles which we know shortens their stopping distance. TWP... please educate your drivers that they carry your name and this show of bad attitude on the road doesn't do your business image very good.
